View from Yachana High School Students
Whilst the GVI Amazon expedition mainly takes international volunteers, GVI Amazon also work with local partners from the Yachana Foundation and host Ecuadorian students on the expedition, as part of a National Scholarship Programme. Each phase students from the local college participate for up to ten weeks of their ‘pansantia’ (work experience), during which time they get involved in the same activities as all the other volunteers. This gives international volunteers from The West an opportunity to learn about Ecuador and improve their Spanish, at the same time provides opportunity for local students to learn about GVI’s work and improve their English. This blog is written by the most recent students from the Yachana Technical High School to share this experience:
GVI: The Treasure of The Ecuadorian Jungle
Hi, What’s up? My name is Christian I hope that you like my dialogue.
My experience in Global Vision International went fantastically, so cool and radical. I am a student of Yachana High School. I spent my pansantia in GVI station which was so cool because I saw birds, plants, frogs, toads, caiman snakes and many things and because I share my time with volunteers and the staff of GVI.
What did I enjoy most? Every day in GVI was fun, but my favourite was the Saturdays in the night because they are very radical. In a few jobs you have to live the work! :)
Now I know that there is more life than I thought. GVI is a way to see things in the world.

Hello my name is Jairo. How’s it going? I am from Tena city in Napo Province. I am a student of Yachana. My experience in Global Vision International was very important because I like to protect the rainforest. We also need ourselves here in the GVI station to make different investigations about the biodiversity in the Amazonian reserve and also with the education in different communities of the Amazon.
The pasantia in the reserve was a good experience of learning.
