New Charity Project

We had to pull out of a previous project we were hoping to undertake as there was no help from the local community. It is so important that these projects come from the community or they are not sustainable. As a result, we had to abandon the idea of helping the Luis Enrique school in Quito and we have been looking for a similar project ever since.

A friend of ours, Orlando came across a local village, only 5 mins from the BSQ and we have since created a link between our school and a local community. An old colleague of mine Yvette and I did some fundraising last year and are helping to fund the nursery school teacher's wages each month. We are currently running a programme to help the school. Secondary children have attended the school on the weekend and have so far rubbed down and repainted one classes desks
