Summary: You will be stationed in the small rural community of Camarones, which is 3 km down the road from the Jama-Coaque Ecological Reserve, and you will be living and working in U.S. Peace Corp-type conditions (but only for 2 months, as opposed to 2 years). You will literally be working in the shadow of the most threatened tropical forest in the world the last Pacific Equatorial Forests of coastal Ecuador, which loom in the background along the coastal mountains.
Our hope is to significantly improve not only access to education in the community, but also the quality of the education, with emphasis on the issues that are most relevant to its particular conditions namely, forest and water ecology and agriculture. English takes on an especially important role in the development of this community for the many new eco-tourism opportunities that are beginning to present themselves. Most importantly, we are trying to foster a culture of conservation in this community and throughout the region, for which the wonders and power and beauty and importance of ecology needs to become household knowledge. You will be on the frontlines of this effort, which attempts nothing less than a regional consciousness shift and a generational change in natural resource management.
