📍 About the location

Cañar has very low crime rates, which is why it is considered safe. To be specific, the school is located on Av. 24 de Mayo and Ingapirca Avenue in the center of the city. The travel time from the school to the volunteer's place of residence is 8 minutes by bus; the transportation system is efficient and economical in the canton. 60% of the population of the canton is indigenous, and for this reason the main productive activities are agriculture and livestock. It is located 1 hour from one of the main cities of Ecuador: Cuenca (southern highlands).

⚠️ Requirements

It is essential that the volunteer speaks English fluently, it is not necessary to have experience because inside the classroom there will be another teacher from the Cañar canton. It is important that the volunteer has a passion for teaching, is an extrovert, likes to spend time with children and young people and has a vocation to serve and help society.
