The Summer Project (available July and August only) is a project organised by IVHQ's local team in Ecuador, helping 80 children, get themselves ready to enter their new year at school.
This project gives attention to a variety of different aged children from disadvantaged backgrounds who are struggling in some aspects of their schooling life. The Summer Project focuses specifically on English, Reading-Writing, Art and Recreation. The program helps develops the children's general abilities such as concentration, self assurance, self-esteem as well as progressing their reading and writing ability. As well as having big hearts, volunteers need to be enthusiastic, motivated and willing to have a good time to participate on the Summer Program successfully. A reasonable level of Spanish is required for this program (Basic to Conversational) as you must be able to communicate with the children. N.B. Volunteers DO NOT need to be a qualified or experienced teacher.
