We are a
young team that operates quickly, openly, involved, passionately and
dynamically. Every day we try to share our dreams with the community and try to
make the dreams of the community come true. We do this with a healthy amount of
energy and fun, but above all with an important objective: to contribute to a
world that makes people happy. Step by step.
Our top mission
To
create an inspiring and safe learning environment in which Ecuadorian children,
youngsters and international volunteers can discover, develop, share and
connect their talents and dreams with each other. We focus on the needs of both
worlds and connect their different cultures and people with one another.
We use
talent, sport, education, creativity and communication in order to create
social development, confidence and entrepreneurship. Our goal is to build
fruitful, self-sustaining projects and to convey them to local project
coordinators.
We
create ties that last between different worlds, cultures and people. We try to
broaden one´s view on the world, both for involved Ecuadorians as for
international volunteers.
We offer
a safe environment in which Ecuadorian children and youngsters between the ages
of 6 to 16 year, regardless of gender, race, socioeconomic background, can
discover and develop their talents.
- Create
self-sustaining projects
We
create self-sustaining projects, which will be governed by the inhabitants of
the project areas within 10 years, after which Local Dreamers’ role in the
projects will be limited to advising and controlling.
- Contribute
to a better world
We
arouse the interest and enthusiasm of international ‘dreamers’ in contributing
to a better world by sharing knowledge, experiences, passions and talents with
one another.
- Stimulate
social development
We use
sports and games, language, creativity and (intercultural) communication to
stimulate the personal and social development of Ecuadorian children and
teenagers.
- Contribute
to local initiatives
We
contribute to small-scale local initiatives through the knowledge, experience,
passion and talent of international volunteers. Projects which have enough
basis to survive without our presence.
