I
am writing to share with you an amazing volunteer opportunity that I
hope you will take the time to share with your students. Sustainable
Roots is an NGO working in Ecuador in
a small town called Cosanga. We have been working here for over three
years and have seen amazing results from our work. We keep constant
volunteer presence in the community. The volunteer’s work is largely
centered on teaching English but our volunteers
are a big part of the Cosanga community and often lend a hand in
multiple other aspects of community life.
This
opportunity is fairly inexpensive; volunteers with a basic
understanding of Spanish and who are willing to stay at least three
months (preferably six) have their housing and
food paid for.
We
are effecting positive lasting change in this community and in the
lives of our volunteers. We have also been asked by multiple other
communities around the region for help but
as yet do not have sufficient volunteer applicants to facilitate this.
I hope that you can share this opportunity with your students and help
us grow. Please take a minute to look at our website
www.sustainable-roots.org, our blog www.sustainablemobile.tumblr.com or our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/sustainable.roots
for more information. Also feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
