was the month of a really important event, La Fiesta del Capitan to remember two
historical events, the conquest of the Spanish in America and the involvement
of the community of Salasaka in the Revolution led by Eloy Alfaro. But you will
know more about this party when you visit the museum of the people of Salasaka
where the volunteers sometimes go to help to promote the culture of the
community of Salasaka.</span></span></div>

without saying that December is the month of Christmas, a hard time for the
volunteers as they are far from their families. But don´t worry, to cheer them
up, some events take place in Salasaka. This year,
the volunteers were invited by the president of the community of Patuloma (the
community we live and work with) to have a party just a few days before Christmas. A lot of funny games
involved with gifts to win. Tomato game, egg game, musical chairs, piñata,
traditional musics and dances…</span></span></div>

Christmas, we enjoyed one week of vacations chilling and visiting Ecuador before celebrating 2019. We must say that spending New Year in Ecuador is an
unusual and amazing experience because of the tradition of the Año Viejo and
Viudas.</span></span><br />

cartoons with any material they can find like old clothes, cardboard, and paper filled
with shaving, hay or sawdust… In order to get away bad luck or energies of the year that
has just ended, they burn the puppet during New Year’s Eve.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The last weeks many new volunteers arrived!</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the beginning of November we welcomed Bushra from England! She arrived just in time to celebrate Finados with us (the day of the dead).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> This is one of the most important days for the people of Salasaka. It was very interesting for the volunteers to get to know this tradition. On the day of the dead, everyone in Salasaka goes to the cemetery to visit the graves of their loved ones. But they aren't sad about it! They prefer remembering them by celebrating. They do this by eating, drinking and visiting the graves of the ones that passed away. Anna and Annika even got to dress up in the traditional clothing of the salasakan women :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After finados there were also some changes to the work we do. Before we had English classes in the afternoon five days a week, but that's diffrent now. We started working with the kids of the local community of Patuloma again. So on Thursday and Friday we volunteer with them in the "casa de la comunidad". The main goal is still teaching English, but we do like to play, draw and paint as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Out of the blue we welcomed Baptiste from France. He was just passing by and decided to volunteer for SKY. Life is full of surprises no? ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The last addition to the volunteer house is Yaru, a girl from China! The children at the school were so happy to meet someone from China! They almost couldn't stop asking questions about her country</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So that is a quick update :) It is so amazing that we have all these new volunteers from different countries with different cultures working together for the same goal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Helping the kids.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Culture and tradition week</span></h2>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the school and the afternoon classes we had a very interesting week. We let the children and adults reflect about what is typical for a culture. They thought about what makes a culture so special. Things such as food, clothing, nature, celebrations... After a short introduction the students got to make a presentation about their own Ecuadorian culture. They worked together in groups to make a beautiful poster about their country. Afterwards they even got to present their poster in front of the class. It was so nice to see them talk about their own country, but in English of course ;) The little kids learned about the colours of the rainbow. At friday we taught them the rainbow song and a little dance. They loved it! </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also welcomed a new volunteer in the volunteer house. Her name is Anna and she is from Belgium. She will be staying with us for 3 months and is very excited to work with the kids from the community.</span><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />

And these are wise words to heed. When packing clothes, layering is your best friend. Sweaters and jackets for the cold mornings and evenings, and rain jackets for the occasional rain and strong breezes. That said, the sun does come out and when it does it’s nice to have sandals and a t-shirt. You’ve probably read about the dangers of sun exposure near the equator and that certainly applies in Salasaka, so it’s best to load up on sunscreen. And if you’re planning on working in the garden or going on an adventurous weekend trek, bring sturdier pants and hiking boots. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Similar to number three, most people are best at packing when it’s too late. Chances are you’ll probably think of a hundred and one things you should have brought by the end of your first day in Salasaka. To save you some of the regret, we recommend taking to heart that your experience with us is part of a unique cultural exchange. Your traditions, no matter how strange or silly, will enrich the experiences of almost everyone you share them with. And you never know when they might come in handy. Think about the meals your family cooks for holidays. The songs they sing. The festivals in your hometown. Students and volunteers alike will love learning about where you come from and where you’ve been.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Volunteering abroad can be a challenging and rewarding experience. It takes us to new places, exposes us to new cultures, and helps us learn more about ourselves and the world we live in. These are only a few of the reasons we do it. But how do we choose where to go and which organization to give our time and skills to? Each person has their own reason for wanting to volunteer abroad, but we thought we’d offer a few of the top reasons why we think you should consider working with SKY. </span></h1>

For example, most people in Salasaka are bilingual, speaking Spanish and Kichwa, and have traditions and festivals that vary from other parts of Ecuador. Volunteering with SKY will immerse you within this special Andean community, introducing you to new foods, music, ways of dressing, and warm-hearted people just as eager as you are to learn more about the world. </span></span></div>

And the more time you spend volunteering, the more likely you are to meet people from vastly different backgrounds and nationalities--all united by a desire to make a difference for the people of Salasaka. By living and working closely with other volunteers, you’re sure to build new friendships. Many of our volunteers have stayed close friends with the volunteers they met at SKY for years. It’s all part of the experience. </span></span></div>

Perhaps you’re a veteran greenthumb just waiting to get your hands dirty in the new volunteer garden. Or maybe you’re interested in improving your gardening skills by learning from the locals. It’s all possible. The variety of projects and needs here at SKY gives you ample opportunity to help where help is needed and learn something along the way. If you’re skilled and a willing teacher, there’s always room to start your own workshop and teach others--music, art, woodworking, English, photography. The list goes on. </span></span></div>

Whether you’re taking some time during your gap year to figure out what you’d like to study or looking to change your career, SKY can provide a wonderful testing ground for you to explore. Maybe you’re energized when you see the light in a student’s eyes after they’ve understood a new tense in English. Or perhaps you enjoy connecting people in the community and organizing events.

With Quito only a 3.5-hour bus ride away and the spa and adventure town of Baños a mere 45 minutes east, it’s easy to explore many of the most popular attractions this beautiful and diverse country has to offer. From Baños, volunteers often take a bus down into the jungle towns of Tena and Puyo. And heading north, you can visit Latacunga and walk around the jaw-dropping blue-green lagoon of Quilotoa. Not to mention it’s a direct route from Ambato to many of the coastal towns. Finding something to do on the weekends is never a hard for volunteers, but deciding, well, that can be more challenging. </span></span></div>

She was writing it about tourism in the Salasaka area, and the plan was for her to take videos and photos of us visiting the local sights and “acting” like tourists. Easy enough, right? Well, apparently we didn’t know the plan very well. By the end of the day we had spent 10 hours hiking--er, bushwhacking--through the high-altitude marshes and overgrown hills of rural Tisaleo. We had sank ankle-deep in mud, frozen our feet, fallen on our behinds, and, for a few of us, been hit with some good ole Andean altitude sickness. But when we finished, all of us were happy it had happened. After all, we all claimed we wanted to travel off the beaten path. Ask and you shall receive. </span></span></div>

It can be challenging at times.

Even a few extra sponges or tubs of soap purchased in Quito could have gone a long way. And bringing more gifts from the US to share with the kids would have been great too.</span></span></div>

<br />
There is a small school next to Tübingen in the south of Germany, named "Grundschule Weilheim". Every year their children collect money in there village by walking from door to door, singing and explaining to people what they are collecting for. In general to donate to projects that work with and help children.<br />
This time they have decided on splitting the collected donations between two projects. One is a project that pays clowns that cheer up kids who have to stay in hospitals for long terms. The other one is SUMAK KAWSAY YACHAY.<br />
<br />
We find this initiative of children helping other children very great and want to send a big hug to those little helpers in Germany. DANKE SCHÖN!<br />

</h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The last 10 months have not been easy but thanks to many helpers from all over the world we have managed to keep the project running and we are on a good way.</span><br />
<br />
This month we are going to do a lot of changes and of course we will keep you up to date.<br />
<br />

The first big step was to separate from the community of Manguiwa and move back to our old home <u>PACHAMAMA</u> in Patuloma.<br />
<br />
This way we can guarantee better comfort to our volunteers and even save some money.<br />
<br />
<br />
This weeks project is to get two of our dorm rooms ready and make the livingroom livable again.<br />
(Pictures are following)<br />
<br />
More changes are coming soon.
