Description:
|
|
|
Yanapuma Foundation is a cooperatively run NGO whose aims are to facilitate sustainable
practices in poor urban and rural communities throughout Ecuador, and to encourage
intercultural exchange that fosters mutual benefit and learning in a globalizing world.
Yanapuma offers volunteers the opportunity to contribute to the development of these
communities in several ways; through long-term volunteering opportunities, shorter group
projects, and cultural exchange programs.
We also run a Spanish school that caters to the
more socially and ecologically aware, responsible traveler.
Our Cultural Exchange
program offers the possibility to visit a small community in the Amazon rainforest,
sierra, or coast region of Ecuador that is in the process of developing tourism. Visitors
learn about the culture and its relation to the environment while offering the community a
chance to get accustomed to dealing with tourists.
