Teach English at the community school

França

Staying at the project was a great experience. But there are some improvements to do. For example, the communication isn't perfect. You might feel a little lost sometimes with your tasks and nobody to guide you. On the other hand, these are good moments to add your personal touch and ideas. Another thing is that the project is 20 minutes away from the community walking. That very point can make exchange with the family rare for some volunteers. However, if you make an effort to go to the family house, you will meet some great people, share meals and culture, and live memorable moments.

This was a very special and immersive experience for me. the eco village, Nelly and the kids were very welcoming and I soon found myself integrated into their small community. The volunteers are essentially given total freedom to deliver classes as they wish, so I enjoyed creating lesson plans with the children to study topics they wanted to learn. For those looking to leave a positive impact while having a meaningful cultural exchange, I highly recommend this experience!

Gracias por la observación...pero esa fue la idea. Crear esta necesidad pero primero debíamos incentivar para que vayan interesándose en aprender el inglés...hemos tenido varias sugerencias y creemos que ya es hora de seguir en el segundo paso. Realizaremos 2 grupo en el segundo grupo de niños.

Spending time and teaching english to the kids was really fun. There were two groups. The second one was a bit bigger with 10-15 kids, so we were glad there were two of us, so we could handle the group better and split them in two if necessary. We had totaly freedom in how and what to teach. the eco village and his family were really welcoming and gave us there house for the whole three weeks, which is really simple but has everything you need. On the weekends we were able to explore the nature around the community. You have to cook your own food, which you can buy in the next city one hour away.

Yaku es una persona muy inspiradora que tiene una visión y hace mucho por su comunidad. Estamos agradecidos por esta oportunidad, aunque no nos quedamos mucho tiempo. Enseñamos a dos grupos. Uno está un poco más motivado que el otro. El trabajo del voluntario consiste en encontrar algo que despierte el interés de los niños por el inglés. Pero sin duda llevará más de unos días, porque también es importante que los niños se acostumbren a ti. Los niños y Yaku son muy amables. Y por eso, recomiendo esta oportunidad aunque puede ser difícil de vez en cuando.

La experiencia con los niños es hermosa, ellos son muy amorosos y tienen ganas de aprender. Me llevo el mejor de los recuerdos de ellos. El paisaje es una locura de lindo

It was a good, interesting and immersive experience. You teach in the community (20-25min to walk) and in the family's house. Teaching in the community was quite challenging for me because some kids aren't very motivated. But teaching the kids of the family &their neighbours was fun. I recommend bringing some paper & pencils with you. If you want to make an activity with the host, make sure how much you have to pay, there was some confusion. Every day I ate with the family & could experience their simple way of living. Nelly & the whole family were very caring & I learnt a lot of Spanish :)

I really enjoyed my time at the project! The only issue for me was that we lived far away from the project and internet was scarce, therefore communicating was a bit of a difficulty at times, yet we spoke with the host in great length about this problem. I will never forget about the children at the school and the teaching was by far my favorite part of the exchange! I also thank the project for the fantastic tours we had! Unforgettable!

This experience was amazing. I really loved teaching the kids and getting to know them. We got a house to live in and there was three other volunteers in the house with me, it was perfect because we really helped each other out with the different tasks. Our host took us on some really beautiful hikes and we sometimes ate with him and the family. It was hard to say goodbye to all the kids in the end and to the beautiful jungle. But I will recommend people going here it's a really good experience ✨

La ecovila, es un lugar espectacular en medio de la selva ecuatoriana. Intentan intégrate en la familia al máximo posible y tiene la oportunidad de beber y probar alimentos típicos de la región. Es una experiencia única poder hacer este volunariado, se aprende mucho y se conoce un poco más de cerca la amazonia. Hay que tener en cuenta, que la casa en la casa donde se duerme, no hay señal móvil, ni internet (en la ecovila si hay internet) y hay alguna cucaracha nocturna jeje experiencia de la selva.

I came here thinking about just the kids and teaching them english. But leaving them , was probably the hardest thing. i cried and we cried and it's all love . and i'm going to come again because they are not just people who live in the amazon who need help to me. They my friends and they treat me like family and i'm going to come here again. I made connections that i never thought of making. especially because i'm not the best spanish speaker but they bare with me and tried to teach me their native language but the pronunciations are crazy. and if you decide to come here , come with an open~
