“One of the best experiences of my life! Giving joy to these beautiful kids. I loved every moment! And, Quito is one of the most beautiful cities I've visited!! Thank you UBECI.”
“Working for UBECI was an eye-opening and impactful experience that I am so grateful to have been a part of. Working with the street children at the markets to help them attain a brighter future was incredibly meaningful and it was inspiring to see how UBECI changes the lives of so many children and families and rewarding to contribute to even just a little bit of this! Thank you UBECI for the amazing opportunity!”
"During this time, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to see how the kids enjoyed having a space where they can be creative and learn, instead of waiting all day in the markets while their parents had to work. In the two weeks of working with the UBECI Foundation, I was able to see how a growing local NGO was so dedicated to help children and families in need, it was really amazing to be part of such an organization. Overall, the experience to me was very educational, it was a truly unforgettable experience.”
“Volunteering with UBECI was an incredibly rewarding experience. From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed and appreciated by both the staff and fellow volunteers. Every task, whether big or small, made me feel like I was contributing to something meaningful. The hands-on work gave me a new perspective on the challenges faced by the community and how much of a difference collective effort can make. Beyond that, I gained valuable skills, made new friends, and left each day with a sense of fulfillment. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone looking to give back and grow personally.”
“Working with the street kids project has been a truly rewarding experience. Spending time with the children at the market has deepened my appreciation for life’s simple joys. Engaging in simple crafts with them brings smiles to their faces, which is a source of joy for me. Though our time together may be short, it creates lasting memories for us all. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to volunteer with UBECI.”
