¡Hola! Thanks for reading our blog. My name is Doug and I´ve been here in Ecuador helping the tutors with the kids for July. This is my first time out of North America and it has been an amazing experience so far.

July has been an interesting month so far. The children are mostly out of school for the summer now, so they don´t have any homework. We´ve been playing lots of games to reinforce their learning and keep them busy and happy. We also make sure they all wash their hands and face, brush their teeth, drink a healthy colada and take some flintstones vitamins daily. The children are quite amazing and absolutely adorable. Hopefully, our help tutoring and health education will have a lasting impact long after we have to leave.

If anyone has any great games, songs, suggestions or questions feel free to contact us through TheQuitoProject.org website.
