Profile
We have two educational resource centers in rural Ecuador. Our services are free of charge to the public. We lend books, provide tutoring, computer classes and child sponsorship. All child sponsorship is paid by donors in the United States. Staff and operating expenses are covered by donations and sales of Ecuadorean crafts. We collaborate with local schools and the public health system. We have purchased supplies at request of the schools. We schedule public health programs in our facitilies for the education of the general public. We bring groups down from the states for "educational vacations". This provides an opportunity for US residents and READ donors to experience rural life in Ecuador and to see our programs in action. We collaborated with Western Carolina University last year to bring down teaching students to instruct our staff how to better tutor the children in our programs

| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| We currently have 54 children enrolled in child sponsorship. The primary goal of sponsorship is to facilitate the education of the particpants in our program. Most participants are the first to graduate from high school in their family. As funds allow we also assist with other needs, such as health care, food and housing needs. All particpants are required to have a dental and medical exam. We have taken children for countless dental fillings. We have assisted with medical exams resulting in surgeries, psychiatric counseling and orthopedic shoes. We have four people in university. They are studying in the fields of nursing, accounting and communications. We provide monthly case management. Problems are identified and managed. We work with the whole family as a stable home environment is key to a childs success. We provide career counseling. We set up appts and accompany family to appts for advanced medical care, psychiatric counseling and legal counsel as needed. We have provided needed supplies to local schools such as basic school supplies of markers, pens, pencils, paper, etc. We have also supplied equipment such as microscope, copier, projectors. We have worked with the local PTA to fix the eelectricity in the school. All of this is done with donations of equipment and funds from the states. Frequently people who have come on our "educational vacations" become donors of funds, child sponsors and donors of equipment. | $0 | $37,384 |
