After landing in the city’s capital, you will be driven to the exciting and fun Selina Hostel in Quito (you won’t get bored here!), where you can check into your dorm and meet fellow travelers. Here, will also receive a meet and greet with one of our team members, who will explain and give all necessary information to you and will be your contact person throughout this exciting journey through Ecuador. Please keep in mind that you will be at a high altitude (2800 meters), so take it slow the first few days and cut back on the drinking and partying in order to avoid altitude sickness.

On Monday you will meet your teacher and companions at the hostel and you will start this fun learning process. Your classes are scheduled 4 hours a day from Monday to Friday. During your stay will also have 2 extra-curricular activities, that we have prepared for you: a half day Bike Tour and a half day Canopy bridge! Your teacher will explain you also the first day all the great places to visit in Baños for eating, drinking and dancing.

Once you arrive at the project, you will have an orientation meeting where general information about the activities during the following days will be provided.

At midday, you will have a break for lunch, which is served at the project. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know the people of the community and their lives.

In the afternoon, you will continue with your duties until around 4pm. The rest of the day is free for you

to enjoy the city. For the following days, the schedule is similar, working from 7am to 4pm from Monday to Friday.

Some of the activities include:

• Help children with their homework (children are often behind in school and do not have a quiet space to do their homework, or have parents who are not capable of helping them at home so volunteers are a great help in this area).

• Assist in hygiene education, such as hand washing and brushing
