Here is a list of our current prices for
research project organization and supervision, internships, Cultural Exchange, and the Volunteer Ecuador program. We strive to provide a reliable
service to our volunteers, students and visitors. At the same time we need to cover the administration and set-up costs associated with organizing and evaluating potential projects, as well as ongoing monitoring and support. But our aim is to connect volunteers with worthwhile projects so that both the community and the volunteer benefit, rather than to make money. Any profit from these activities goes towards the work of the foundation.
