About the institution
Fundación Integrar is a school for children with special needs. They have worked with disabled kids and youth for 10 years, and their main aim is to integrate the students at a regular school in all cases possible. They also have therapies for maximizing the potentialities of kids and teenagers with intellectual disabilities or motor problems, involving their families in the process; and offer early stimulation for babies with special needs.


Description of the work

  • At the beginning you will be observing the groups and how the people work with the kids. Step by step you will make bonds with the students and learn what to do and how to do the activities with each kid or teenager. When you are more adapted you will be able to work more individually with the students and will be of great help to each therapist, with whom you will work as a team.
  • If you have an interest in art, music (for example if you can play a musical instrument) or sport, you will have a lot to offer these children. Fundacion Integrar includes certain activities such as football games, swimming, horse therapy, among others in which you can also participate.
  • On the other hand, you can also help with making contact with donors in and outside Ecuador, maintaining the web page or other advertising material, planning projects, etc.
