Serve with us in Ecuador over Christmas break! This team will spend the week helping With You International (Fundación Contigo) complete projects, play with the children, and engage in activities that will improve the facilities and the lives of the children at the various projects where they serve. Teams serve alongside the missionaries as they minister to their community and to area orphanages.

In Quito, the team will stay in local lodging that is secure and comfortable. One of our favorite places for teams to serve is Pisuli. Pisuli is a neighborhood known for violence, extreme poverty, and harsh living conditions in North Quito, Ecuador. Each week in Pisuli, 300 kids are fed and they receive various benefits of the program like medical care and school supplies. Through Contigo, they are provided with clothing, shoes, and training. There's a program in Pisuli where the mothers of the some of the children have learned to make beautiful jewelry out of tagua to receive income that enables them to live a more productive life and have an income to be able to care for their children. Often teams are able to participate and watch the women make this jewelry. This team will get to serve with Contigo in Pisuli loving on the children and families being served through this project. Sometimes this can look like helping with a project; other times it might be doing arts and crafts, vbs or simply playing with the children.

Contigo works with many orphanages that include both private Christian run and government run. The team will work in one or two of these orphanages during their time in country.

Consider joining this team, it will truly be a life-changing and unforgettable experience.
