Program Details

The program will involve assisting the teacher in everything she needs regarding the education of the children. This includes participating in classes and creating materials for the lessons.

Classes take place from Monday to Friday in the mornings only, so punctuality is important.

The afternoons are completely free, and you will have the opportunity to engage in various activities within the community. You can learn how to make chicha, accompany families to the chakra (cultivated land), take canoe rides, visit the river, explore the jungle, learn about Waorani crafts, as well as immerse yourself in Waorani and Kichwa culture and language.

Please note that there is no internet connection available, showers are taken in the river, and there are no Western-style toilets.

It's important to embrace this experience as an opportunity to disconnect from modern life and immerse yourself in
