The needs in Ecuador are tremendous. More than 300,000 children in Ecuador have disabilities, and nearly a third of all abandoned children are disabled. Ecuador is an economically impoverished country and so the challenges that most people face are daunting.

Our Ecuadorian host partner needs your help in these areas:

• Childcare - infants and pre-schoolers.
• Construction - a new child care facility.
• Physical labor - landscaping, painting and masonry.
  
• English language skills - informal one-on-one teaching.
  

Never doubt that you can change the life of a child in Ecuador. If you enjoy children, you can make a real difference by simply caring for, teaching and playing with he children of FUNDAC in Calderon. In addition, if you can wield a hammer, paintbrush or trowel, you can work alongside Ecuadorian workers helping to construct and expand new facilities that are so greatly needed for the children.
