"Yanapuma began as just another school on my list. I had four weeks in Quito and wanted to get the most value out of my school. After spending an entire day visiting nearly half a dozen Spanish school Yanapuma came out as the clear winner. Competitive cost, student programs and involvement, and versatile teaching efforts  are why I would recommend Yanapuma to anyone. ¡Thanks!" - Ryan (click to read more)

What's happening this week at Yanapuma Spanish School?

A weekly roundup of events at the Spanish school and foundation in Quito . . . 03 Dec - 09 Dec 2012

December is usually the quietest month of the year for a Spanish school in Quito as relatively few people choose to be away from home over the Christmas period. However we do actually have quite a good number at the school at the moment, around 10 altogether, with some finishing in the next week or two and one or two more coming before the end of the year.

Students are starting to sign up for the various activities that we have planned for the week. On Tuesday there is our regular free salsa class at 6.00 pm which all students are welcome to sign up for.On Wednesday this week there will be a Pub Quiz in a local bar that is always lots of fun. On Thursday we have organized a "Cuarenta" championship at the school. Cuarenta is a local card game that is traditionally played at this time of year.

Our weekend excursion for our Spanish school next weekend is to the magnificent Quilotoa Crater Lake. High in the Andes this turquoise lake sits in an extinct crater. From the rim there are other volcanoes visible along the chain of the Andes. There will be opportunities to hike down into the crater, to ride horses, or hike around the crater rim.

You can see more about these regular events by clicking on the "Upcoming Events at Yanapuma" link on the top right hand side of this page.

In the foundation we are currently beginning to work on a 3-year project funded by the Inter American Foundation to work with the Tsa'chila in 4 of their comunas. We will be promoting sustainable cacao production, the development of vegetable gardens, nutritional education and working towards commercialization of local products. . In addition, we continute working with 13 scholarship students at the coast, supporting them to continue through high school. We are also looking at ways to support the development of a group of organic cacao producers from the coast as they seek to increase their production and sales of organic cacao for fine chocolate products.

To learn more about the activities of Yanapuma Foundation, read a recent newsletter. Or click here to find out about volunteering with our Volunteer Ecuador program in Quito or in other parts of Ecuador. You can also check out our foundation website to learn more about how to volunteer in Ecuador.

Deciding not studying with Yanapuma Spanish School? Too bad! Why not give us a try? We are happy to just let you book the first week or two of classes and go from there, as our experience is overwhelmingly positive with many students studying longer than they originally intended.
