The orphanages take care of the children in the best way they can by giving them food, education and a roof over their heads. The program takes place in different locations across Ecuador and most of the orphanages are managed and run by catholic nuns.  Each orphanage houses between 40 or more abandoned and unwanted children.  Children are from less than 1 year up to about 14 years old.  The children thrive on the attention and love our volunteers can share with them.  Living with just the basic necessities, and few toys, these children also only have a limited staff to care for them. ELEP is in great need of volunteers who are willing to share their time, efforts, personal skills and (most importantly) love for the good and betterment of these children. Volunteer Responsibilities Depending on your own skills and interests, you are free to help the children with daily care, feeding, playing, education and helping with their homework, read stories, teach songs, clothing, change diapers, help them with their wash, and take them for outings, assisting the local staff with repairs and upkeep the facilities, spend quality time with the children, etc. The goal of our orphanages, street kids and day care centers is to provide these children with affection, support, and a decent life in the hopes of helping them to become responsible citizens.   Skills/Qualifications No specific qualifications are required to join our children welfare. However, interested individuals should have a passion and eagerness to help underprivileged children.  Volunteers should have a basic understanding of the Spanish language in order to effectively work within these children centers General program information: Program open to: American, Australian, Canadian, European Travel to site: Varies Is opportunity more independant or group orientated: Varies No. in group: 3 or more Living arrangements on the program: Home stays (living with local families) How long does the program last?: Various Durations What are the dates of this program: Ongoing.
