No special skills are required to serve, though experience with disabled children can be helpful. I deeply admire what Camp Hope has managed to do with so few resources. They have turned a dream into a reality. It was awesome to be able to share that dream with them and to be able to help them achieve the reality. All volunteers stay in a delightful hotel near Quito's main tourist and financial area.
Single rooms are available.
Volunteers travel 15 to 30 minutes each day to the work site. There is a wide variety of tropical fruits and vegetables, fish, meat, and extraordinary breads for meals. Volunteers eat breakfast and dinner at restaurants near or at the hotel with lunch provided at the work site. Free Time Ecuador is one of the world's most geographically varied, species-rich countries and nearly all of its natural treasures are within your reach. From Quito, you can travel to colorful Andean markets, remote jungle villages and warm Pacific beaches.
