On the Streets of Quito: Working as a Volunteer in Ecuador

Posted by Clara Eckstein • Thursday, May 12, 2011 • Category: People and Places
At the beginning of last year I came across the idea of doing volunteer work for the very first time. I had a four months long summer break and no intention of spending it at home. While searching through the Internet I found it more and more difficult to find an organisation that would take volunteers for a short time such as 9-10 weeks and who would not charge a fortune for it. In the end I decided to apply to a small South American NGO organisation, situated in Quito, Ecuador.
