 |
 |
 Project Description
The school provides education for students through the fourth grade of primary school, while the childcare center takes care of children from three months to four years old. The project provides the children with quality, bilingual education, because this is often the key for these children to escape poverty. You, as a volunteer, will form part of our “family” by teaching, guiding and supervising the children in their daily activities.

Children and Youth in Chunchi
|
|
|
Project Description
The project consists of caring for and helping in the comprehensive development of children from emigrant families from the Chunchi farming community, an area with approximately 1200 residents, located in the southern province of Chimborazo. The community is primarily involved in agriculture and milk production. It has the highest number of migrants, mostly families emigrating primarily to the United States and, more recently, to Spain. This leads towards learning, emotional and behavioral problems among the children of families where members have emigrated from the community. More than 15 people work in the center, 12 teachers and one psychologist.
**Note: This project requires a 6 month minimum commitment to maximize the volunteer's impact on the community.
