  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Activities: Tourism of various cultural and environmental sights in the area: Guano, las Cholas, Balbanera - the first Church of Ecuador founded in 1534, the mountain Chimborazo, various national parks, thermal pools, cultural sites, bicycling down Chimborazo, etc. There are a lot of things to do here!! Getting to know the flora, fauna, historical sites and traditions, hiking, etc.
  
  The volonteers will be able to live in a traditional community in the mountains above the city of Riobamba, Ecuador. The integrity and traditions of our community have been conserved throughout dozens of generations. We practice small-scale agriculture, live in harmony with the natural world, and practice our way of life in accordance with our traditional worldview. Our worldview is made up of our outlooks on spiritual practice, community life, and nourishing work with the animals, the environment, the family, and the community. We hope to introduce others to our way of life in order to offer them a connection to our environment and culture. We believe that an interchange with travelers between our traditional culture and that of different cultures can help us to both connect with and learn from each other. We hope to find individuals who are willing to teach the children in our community fundamentals of the English language. What we can offer in return is a glimpse into our way of life and the bonds we have in our community. We have a unique gastronomy and can offer cultural exchange, language development, and environmental stewardship and tourism. We hope that a true and open exchange of our cultures will benefit us both, as we can each learn from the other.

  2. Somebody to help with animal care at the farm, including light agricultural tasks in our modest-sized fields.
