    Over het programma

    Our partner is a non-profit organization that provides medical care to the community of the city of Cuenca. The foundation envisions the distribution of medical and therapeutic services and the implementation of technological innovations, such as orthotics, prosthetics, and mobility aids. To guarantee a complete service, a multidisciplinary team of specialists was formed. Volunteers and interns are of indispensable value to them.

    A unique feature of the organization is its special program for people who would not normally have the resources to access good medical care. A group of sponsors and donors and creative solutions make it possible for these people to be part of this institution.

    Within this health project you have several options, depending on your level of Spanish, the duration of your stay, the courses you follow and also your work experience. There are a variety of health disciplines in which you can get involved. We name them here:

    • Physical therapy
    • Neurorehabilitation
    • Ergotherapy
    • Speech therapy
    • Massage therapy
    • Traumatology
    • Orthotics and prosthetics
    • Audiology
    • Odontology
    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Urology
    • Clinical psychology
    • Psychology and child psychology.
    • Clinical laboratory

    You can work part-time or full-time at the care center, depending on your further program. Normally you start at 9 AM and finish your day around 5 PM. In between you have ample time to have lunch with your colleagues and fellow volunteers.

    The content of your program mainly depends on the specialisms in which you participate. For example, if you are a physiotherapy student, then you will logically spend a lot of time in this department.

    The extent to which you are allowed to treat patients yourself depends very much on your knowledge and skills and on your level of Spanish

    Vrijetijdsactiviteiten

    During your stay with Local Dreamers, you will live with one of our local host families or have a room in our volunteer house. Both the host families and the volunteer house (located above our office) are located in the center of Quito, close to the historic center and the tourist center. This depends a lot on the city where you are volunteering. In Cuenca, for example, you will live with a host family, another type of accommodation is also possible on request.

    On weekends you are free to come and go wherever you want. Ecuador is incredibly versatile, but still relatively small and easily accessible. From Cuenca you can easily go on a discovery tour and learn more about this fantastic country. If you want to take a little more time for a trip, it is of course always possible. We are a flexible organization.
