Cielo Azul’s schools are located on the outskirts of the city of Otavalo, where classes are given to children and young people from the communities.

Many families live from agriculture and expect the volunteers to help in this task and in their daily activities (e.g. help with the homework).

Volunteer requirements / Skills
It’s an advantage to speak good Spanish because the local people often speak Kichwa and you don’t learn a lot of Spanish in the family. They have to be very flexible and adaptable because the schools generally suffer from poor management and so things are always changing a lot. Volunteers have to communicate with people and integrate themselves within their community.
