The trust (AFET) is wholly devoted to the support of rural school children in Ecuador via the charity Voluntarios de Occidente (VDO).
Money is raised throughout the year by individual supporters and by
AFET at Christmas when cards, designed by children in Ecuador, are
sold with almost 100% of the
money going to the charity.
New Andrew Finch Computer Centre
Techo Propio means “0wn roof” and is a Cooperative created 17 years ago in a place 15 minutes from Ambato by bus.
The agreement signed with Techo Propio has a duration of two years, extendable to two years more. The agreement was made with the following objectives:
-To create a Computers Centre Andrew Finch where will be courses for children, youth and adults. The Computer Center will be very useful as there are many people who want to learn or improve their computer knowledge. The Computer Center will be just for teaching. The cooperative gave us a completely independent room in the same buildingas their offices. Initially, three computers will be installed.
- Creating a children's library in which the children can get books and have reading workshops. Inhabitants of Techo Propio are very happy with the computer center Andrew Finch and the library as it is the first time they will have these services.
- To design and draw the first draft of the community house and help in its construction with volunteers. Gonzalo will be the designer as he worked with his brother architect.
- To help children from poorest families through sponsorship program.
