  • Hello Ecuador Community! My name is Rachel, I am the English/Volunteer Coordinator and Development Officer for the James Dean Byrd Foundation in Canoa, Manabí. We work to sustain an elementary school, Los Algarrobos School. It's the only alternative to the public school system in the county. We offer a strong English program, have a class size maximum of 20 students, and are working to build a computer lab. I joined the community because I hope to meet other like minded people in Ecuador, working to make the world and kinder place, and maybe we can support each other's work!

  • Hello,

    My name is Polina Kankiya. I am from Ecuador. I live in Guayaquil. I am a marketing professional, who offers consulting services for companies, some of them included cancer foundations; in addition, I come from a family that worked with foundations. I would like to gain more in-depth knowledge about fundraising. So my goal is to learn more about fundraising, to learn how to network with potential donors, how to search and raise money to help people, and other necessary tips. I would like to have my own foundation to help blind people in Ecuador, since there are so many people that lack guide dogs; in addition, I would like to train dogs to rescue people after earthquakes. I am here to learn the tips to create my own foundation.

    Hey there, I’m Virginia. I’m a Business Spanish teacher living in Ecuador. I am a fan of education and I love Spanish and helping people communicate well. I've spent years teaching and tutoring on-line in Brazil and EEUU, so I understand the cross-cultural differences of languages and the challenges that all new speakers and writers face. I'm a SIELE and DELE Spanish teacher certified.
    As a former teacher of art, my specialty is teaching about the Latin American culture: not just written Spanish, but also the superior use of it which allows you can communicate well.
    I’m also interested in entrepreneurship and technology.

  • Hello, everyone!

    My name is Verónica Enríquez-Ruiz, currently I'm living in Quito and I work as the Projects Coordinator of Jocotoco Foundation, an ecuadorian NGO with the objective of protecting areas of critical importance for the conservation of endemic and threatened bird species in Ecuador that are not under the protection of the National System of Protected Areas (SNAP). Jocotoco achieves this goal by acquiring and managing land as biological reserves. I choose to join this community because my work is directly related to donors and diverse stakeholders. My job implies to assure their help and their commitment to our organization.
