Definitely, our older folks needs more attention from us the younger ones. Its as if paying our debts of gratitude to everything that our parents had done for us. Kodus!

how can a volunteer get a tax free stipend? I saw it in Kevin Treadeu;s book (free Money)

Hello all, I’m considered old school but I love being able to post and view places like this.I remember the old BBS modems where connecting at 6k was good and 56k was just a far away dream. And now kids who don’t even know about cassette tapes let alone vinyl records are walking around with more computing power in their cell phones than IBM had in their labs when I was growing up. Anyway thanks to all of you for your blogs and to the webmaster here for providing this site. Cheers

I am a teacher. Until recently I had professional people whose native language was Spanish come to my home for lessons. I gave that up because I wasn’t busy enough to pay for the trouble. I would love to work with your program…but I do use a three wheeled scooter to get around because of a childhood bout with polio. I have a Masters Degree in Secondary Reading and thirty three years experience. My hobby is travel…last year I went to South Africa. My next adventure I hope will be Ecuador. Thank you.

Dear Organization

My name is Jorge Sandoval a coordinator at Fundacion Bolivar education which is a non-profit foundation for volunteer work in Ecuador and also a Spanish School. We are focusing mainly on education but offer a variety of programs in any fields..incl. Volunteer work in the Galapagos!

The reason for this email is to ask if your organization would be interested in working with us. We have a low cost operation with 10 employees in 3 different offices throughout Ecuador (Quito,Cuenca and Galapagos) and we can offer personalized service to the students and volunteers at very competitive prices.

Simon Bolivar is the biggest language schools in Ecuador and one of the major travel agencies. This gives us the ability to offer a complete package for the students and volunteers incl. Spanish lessons and travel around the country. We have special prices for lessons and travel for the volunteers.

We have some interesting projects for seniors

Please let me know if you need more information. I hope to hear from you soon.

Perhaps the seniors could do a series of essays about what life was like for them at certain ages. For example, “I am a 87yr old woman…when I was 15 the world was different. I remember….”

I am starting a project with college students to do the same thing; my goal is to use the letters in a mentoring project for teen girls. I would actually love to have senior citizens send submissions. Their stories are important, they need and deserve to share their oral/written histories.

My 83 yr old mother is in assisted living here in AZ. The seniors here would like to get involved in something for community but do it from their assisted living home. Maybe something they can put together, make (simple) etc. They want to feel needed again. Any ideas.

Thank you.
