Elderly Care Volunteer Project Ecuador |
This project was created out of the need for the many poor elderly people who have become sick and abandoned by their own families who have neither the time nor the money to take care of them.
The Elderly project is a centre that gives home to elderly people who have been abandoned living and begging on the streets, selling cigarettes and snacks and are homeless and also for others who have families with special needs including mental problems.
Volunteers will help by reading, cooking and playing with them, doing exercises, taking a walk with them, massaging, helping to feed, teaching bakery, handcrafts etc. Also volunteers can do their own research in areas like health and human science.
Time volunteering: 1 week minimum and maximum 12 weeks
Cost: USD 110 per week
The cost includes: Pick up airport, three meals per day and accommodation in a host family
