Private Tutors for Orphanage in Ecuador

Tax deductible
Hello everyone-

I will start with my goal, and then I’ll explain why I want to do it.

GOAL: To raise $5,000 to hire two specialized tutors to work at an orphanage in Quito, Ecuador for 5-6 months.

WHY: This past September, I went to Quito to work with an orphanage for 3 weeks through an organization called RESTORE17. Because of COVID, all schools are closed in Ecuador and classes are being held through zoom. HOWEVER, due to lack of resources, many of the kids at the orphanage I worked at are not always able to attend their Zoom classes. Teachers are sending massive amounts of weekly homework assignments, but these kids are incapable to do the assignments or understand the material because they are unable to access the lessons online. So, they are falling way behind in their education.

You also encounter children like Sebastian (not his real name). Sebastian grew up in extreme poverty and was never enrolled in school. The result: He is now 14-years-old and unable to read or count. I only found out because we were playing Bingo and he was unable to read the numbers on the Bingo card.

Hiring these tutors will allow these children to understand their homework better, complete assignments, and be better equipped for their future. In addition, these tutors will focus on kids, such as Sebastian, to help them catch up.

Let’s remember that these children are the future of South America. I want to ensure they are given as much opportunity to succeed as you and I have. All proceedings will go directly to RESTORE17 and will be used strictly to hire these tutors. You can find more info about RESTORE17 on their website (www.restore17.org) or you can also check them out on Instagram @restore17ecuador. Please join me in making this happen. 

THANK YOU.
