When you arrive at airport Mariscal Sucre near Quito, our driver José Luis will be waiting for you at the gate. We always provide him with some pictures of you, so he will for sure recognize you. Together with José Luis you will make a one-hour drive to our office in the centre of Quito. At the office, one of our coordinators will welcome you and show you arround in the neighborhood. After a little small talk we will bring you to your host family/ the volunteer house where you have all the time to recover from your flight.
Depending on what we agreed on, you will make your bus trip to Canoa from Quito fairly soon after arrival or you will first stay with us in the capital for a while.
The project runs thoughout the whole year.
