Conditions

You do not need to be a member of the Roman Catholic Church to participate as a volunteer at our Mission Clinic. Indeed, over the years we have welcomed volunteers from all religious and ethnic backgrounds who come motivated to help the needy. However, since the Clinic is closely connected to the Catholic Mission of the Parish "Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe," we expect our volunteers to be respectful of the Catholic religion and its values, as well as of the diverse cultural traditions of the Ecuadorean people.

Knowledge of the Spanish language is fundamental. Exceptions are made for surgical teams.

Organizational Base: Vicarato Apostolico de Zamora, Ecuador
