Reduce Work Hours for Ecuador's Street Children

October 21, 2019

Hola!

We at UBECI would like to thank you again for your continued support for our programs for

the Children of the Market. Through your donations we have just successfully finished our

“Reduce Work Hours for Ecuador’s Street Children”. In the last two months we have been

able to help 745 children of the market learn social responsibility and the strength of the

Without your support, we would not have been able to reach this program’s dual goals of

teaching the children social skills and individual growth. The social skills we are focusing on

are: communication and cooperation; social aptitude and responsibilities; and enhancing

their understanding of group dynamics through sports. We are also concentrating on goals

that increase each child’s individuality through: strengthening their self-esteem; developing

their own imagination and creativity; and helping them to understand the strength of their

culture’s and family’s histories and traditions. In addition to these goals, we also engage the

children in numerous activities that enhance the children’s studying and understanding of a

STEM education.

As always our volunteers were of a great help and as one said:

“I like that the children can gain inspiration from me and how they stay with me when I am

with them and that they want to get me involved with their lives. I also like to challenge their

ideas of the roles that men and women have in society.” --volunteer

Your continued support plays a crucial role in allowing our volunteers on the ground to not

only maintain our programs but also allow us to ensure that the children have a strong base

from which to grow and succeed..
