"I spent two months working with "Volunteering Ecuador The VE". In this time, I met a lot of volunteers from other organisations. I am 100% satisfied "Volunteering Ecuador" was the best organised and only non-profit making organisation I encountered in my time here in Quito. It also offered the most fulfilling volunteer positions and put my medical training to the best possible use. My homestay with my Ecuadorian family and the support from the organisation was fantastic and I could not have asked for more. Despite having no Spanish on arrival, schooling and appropriate homestay was organised. I could not recommend this organisation more.

"This organisation operated in an exceptionally honest and dependable manner. Before my arrival, I was clearly told the financial obligations required.  Upon my entry to Ecuador those same obligations remained exactly the same-no hidden expenses suddenly arose..... Volunteering Ecuador (The VE) was extremely flexible in designing my volunteer schedule in a way that fit how I wanted to utilize my time in Quito. Before selecting volunteer work, I was shown different sites and given the chance to select based on my preferences as well as volunteering at times which allowed me to take Spanish classes in the morning.  I appreciated the effort The VE made to ensure the experience met my needs as well as their needs.  My time at the volunteer site was extremely enjoyable because I was free to create my own program within the site's structure......I would strongly recommend this organisation to others interested in volunteering and would gladly volunteer through them again in the future.

"Volunteering Ecuador was exactly what I was looking. It was incredibly flexible and accommodating in all aspects, from the delicious meals served every day to the type of project(s) you can get involved in.  It is locally run and completely nonprofit, so you can be sure that the small amount of money you spend is going to a good cause, and not to pay the exorbitant
administrative costs of an international volunteering organization. The VE gives you the perfect chance to help people in dire need of your love and time, but allows you to indulge in a little (or a lot) of exploring around the city of Quito and the amazingly diverse landscape of the country of Ecuador.

"Volunteering Ecuador is by far the best choice for anyone who truly wants to help the poorer end of Ecuador. The organization charges no more than what is necessary for what needs to get done and takes no profit. All the other organizations charge obscene amounts to make a profit, and I just don’t think that’s what a volunteer organization ought to be about. Since I’ve been here I’ve not only done volunteer work in a children’s hospital, but the organization also set me up with an amazing Spanish academy, and I feel I’ve learned quite a bit. I couldn’t ask for more. Meeting amazing people at school, at the hospital, helping the poor/kids, and just having an unforgettable, more than worthwhile learning experience of a lifetime is what this has been all about for me. I’d say it’s definitely a must do".
Best wishes.
