ECUADOR ORGANIC FARM INTERCULTURAL
This project is 100% non-profit, here you do not have to pay to be, learn, teach, share or help us because this is not a place to attract tourists. Here you come as a volunteer and you will receive the treatment of a son or a daughter with much affection and respect. Here, NOBODY is forced to do something that is against their will, physical integrity or their human rights.
