The Quito Project is a University of Michigan organization that grants students the chance to travel to Quito, Ecuador and work as a teacher with 5 through 12-year-old kids at la fundación dejando huellos, an elementary school. This trip was truly amazing and the friendships and relationships I built with my students and fellow teachers are irreplaceable. The Quito Project allowed me to continue my passion for Spanish, travel and humanitarian work in a unique and rewarding way. This opportunity taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and Quito and la fundación dejando huellos will always have a special place in my heart.
