FABC is a non-profit NGO working for the benefit of over 400 poverty-stricken senior citizens in the center of Quito, Ecuador. T Volunteers are greatly needed and warmly welcomed by staff and especially by the abuelitos. They may work in various fields including health, education, cooking, managing small business endeavors, and social work. A basic knowledge of Spanish is necessary, though a more advanced understanding of the language would allow volunteers to take on greater responsibility. Learn more about FABC>>
