“UBECI is definitely a legit and a good program. My friend Chelsea and I found the program because we wanted to travel abroad and volunteer with children somewhere. It was a wonderful experience and I learned so much especially the culture of Ecuador. The volunteer program gives you a chance to help the children at the markets as well as in schools and travel at the same time so you can experience their culture. It was a stepping stone for me to go out into the world and visit other countries and volunteer. The family my friend and I stayed with was awesome!!!!!! It’s like a study abroad program instead you volunteer and help the children with anything you can. Playing with them and washing their hands and showing them how to be happy is the best thing I could have done!”
