school has the opportunity to join one of these organisations,
and do voluntary work in the following areas:

You can work in a city of your choice within Ecuador, which
also includes the Galapagos Islands.
The time required to volunteer and the nature of the work varies depending on the needs of the organisation you wish to work with. To qualify as a volunteer for the purposes of the Cristobal Colon
