Río Muchacho Organic Farm & School
The Río Muchacho Organic Farm is located in the Río Muchacho valley on the Ecuadorian coast 30 km north of Bahía de Caráquez. The farm is 8 km inland. Río Muchacho now plays an important role in Ecuador in demonstrating alternative methodologies to conventional agriculture for example: biogas, solar power, composting systems, worm culture, water recycling, reforestation and forage systems, permaculture, organic farming techniques and environmental tourism are being applied and researched. In their local environment school, the neighbouring farmer's children, students from all over Ecuador and farmers themselves learn about sustainable agriculture and lifestyle!
day-care center and primary school Los Sueños de Alfred
The day-care center and bilingual primary school Sueños de Alfred is located in Quito's Historical Center and caters for up to 150 children between the ages of 3 months and 6 years. These children live in difficult social and financial circumstances and often there is nobody to take care of them during the day. Our volunteers teach (Englisch, Phys. Ed., Arts, etc.), take care of the children during activities and assist in medical care and supervision.
