� The Village Education Project 2011 Summer Volunteer Program
Teach in Ecuador this Summer. Help Fund a Student's High School Education.

The Village Education Project Summer Volunteer Program is seeking�
motivated college students to teach in rural Ecuador this summer.�
Volunteers teach underprivileged seventh graders who cannot afford to�
attend high school and who come from impoverished primary schools unable�
to provide adequate preparation. Using a curriculum designed by�
Ecuadorian teachers and principals and American education students and�
professors, volunteers are tasked with helping the seventh grade�
students get up to grade level. Those who pass the high school entrance�
exam at the end of the summer will receive a full scholarship from The�
Village Education Project, including the cost of all school supplies.

All fees paid by volunteers will be used to fund these scholarships, so�
participation not only helps kids learn, but provides the financial�
means to send the kids from the summer program to high school that year.�
Almost every student sponsored by The Village Education Project is the�
first in their family to attend high school due to the high cost--about�
$200 per year--of secondary education in Ecuador. Our past volunteers�
have come from colleges all over the country including Swarthmore, UNC�
Chapel Hill, Dartmouth Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Yale, Duke, Oxford,�
Amherst, Williams, and many others.

The Summer 2011 program lasts from June 19th till August 5th and the
exact program dates are flexible according to applicant's schedule.
