Fundación Tierra Nueva


About the institution
Fundacion Tierra Nueva was founded by the father José Carollo (1931-2005) in 1970, and began offering medical and day-care center services at the north of Quito.

However, most necessities of the people with low economical resources are located at the south of the city, so Padre Carollo responded to their urgent necessities. Today the foundation has been working for 32 years and it has become one of the most respected organizations in Quito. Its mission is to offer integral services and innovative and permanent projects to vulnerable sectors and general population in general to enhance their quality of life.


Description of the work
Fundacion Tierra Nueva has 2 children centers, with kids from 1 to 5 years old. Each center can receive 170 kids. The volunteer can assist the workers in the diverse tasks at the centers, which include: early stimulation, pre-scholar preparation for the older kids, helping the kids to do their work at class, teaching them games and songs, helping with their nutrition and hygiene, etc. In addition, in the afternoons the centers receive older kids (scholars) in order to give them lunch as help them with their homework.


Keep in mind
You are going to work with kids who very fast make strong bonds. They will miss you and feel sad if you don’t show up to work and it is important that you with anticipation tell them when you are going to leave.

The schedule can be flexible

If you like you can have the same lunch with the kids.
