HIV/AIDS projects

HIV/AIDS is a world-wide epidemic affecting citizens of ALL countries – regardless of race or sexual preference. Rustic Volunteer Travel collaborates with a number of already-existing health clinics, non-profit organizations and government agencies addressing the issue of HIV/AIDS. Volunteers participating in this HIV/AIDS Project mostly contribute to create public awareness and continue the ongoing program.

 

Fact File Ecuador

Arrival Point:

Quito International Airport

Airport Pick-up:

Upon the receipt of your flight information, our in-country coordinator or other project staff will greet the volunteers in the airport and take you to your project site. The address and telephone number of the local contact hotel will be given before departure just in case volunteers miss our representative in the airport. Please make sure to e-mail your flight information to both the USA office and the local in-country coordinator's office.

Departure Point:

Quito International Airport

Airport Drop:

Rarely, a few do request an escort back to the airport; this is an extra expense of about $75.  Most are very familiar and comfortable with their stay and have great ease taking their own taxi or bus back to the airport.

Internal Transportation:

Rustic Volunteer Travel manages one-way transportation to project. Volunteers will be responsible for their own personal and return travel. We do not cover daily transportation from host family/hotel to the project. Volunteers will be responsible for their personal and return travel. Our program is designed to save you the volunteer as much as possible.

Start Dates:

1st and 3rd Mondays of each month

Arrival Before Start Date:

Rustic Volunteers/Travelers coming to Ecuador are advised to arrive one day before their program start date. If you arrive more than one day early or stay after the program, you will be responsible for your room and food expenses.

Working Hours: 30- 40 hours per week
