The Simón Bolívar
Volunteer Program was founded in 2004 by the Simon
Bolivar Spanish School For more than ten years the school
has been helping students find volunteer work in Ecuador.
Due to the increasing interest over the years, in 2004 we
started the Simón Bolívar Volunteer Program
to individuals outside of the school.
The Foundation "Bolivar
Education" is a private, non-profit organization
that is not associated with any political or religious activities.
Carbon
Offset
We work closely with CanopyCo
to carbon offset everything we do. Your entire experience
with us will be carbon neutral. CanopyCo
is an Ecuadorian based organization managed by local and European
professionals dedicated to reforesting Ecuador’s native forests
for the benefit of the climate, the local community and, of
course, Ecuador’s phenomenal flora and fauna.
Along with CanopyCo,
we have carefully calculated all the emissions our Foundation
and associated activities generates. Our entire operation
has been included from the bus rides our staff take to work
to the electricity used for the building lights. CanopyCo
has worked out how many trees we need to plant to absorb the
carbon dioxide emissions using UK and USA government standards.
Rest assured that from the moment you arrive at the airport
to the moment you leave, everything you do with us will leave
a carbon footprint of ZERO.
We invite you to join us in our bid to protect the environment.
From as little as $10 you can also carbon offset your flights
to Ecuador, ensuring that your trip of a lifetime has a minimal
environmental impact. Simply use the CanopyCo
link to find out more and help save the planet. The world
will thank you !!!!
It's a pleasure for us to welcome you to our website,
and we hope you will enjoy your visit!
