Description: In Ecuador, the rapidly growing tourism industry alongside the country's desire for ascent within the global economy has ignited a passion for learning the English language. A country blessed with cultural and natural majesty, tourism has emerged as an increasingly viable means of generating income. Ecuadorians understand that knowledge of English might better facilitate tourism programs and attract more tourists. Thus, many local schools and agencies have requested Global Crossroad's assistance in recruiting teachers to speak English. The ability to speak English well can ensure Ecuadorian students' successes by equipping them with the skills they need to be able to compete in the growing global economy.

Our English teaching project in Ecuador is located in the Las Tolas village, which is surrounded by picturesque landscapes and the beautiful Cloud Forests. Volunteers teaching in Las Tolas will stay in the village with host families, allowing them to closely experience the village's culture and the wonder and beauty of the surrounding environment, all while making a positive impact on the future of the village children. During their stay, Volunteers also have the opportunity to explore and learn Spanish. Most of the volunteers working in this project work as a teacher in a private or public elementary school. Responsibilities of volunteers include teaching simple English and practice simple conversational English with the children. Additional help with health, sanitation, and extra curricular activities are also expected.
