This neighbourhood has a lot of families who are struggling to feed their families with the very low wages offered to labourers in Ecuador, sometimes less than $100 a month. Adults who have small children therefore have no other choice but to work. In a neighbourhood desperate for childcare options, Centro Myra provides a safe and hopeful alternative. This center provides free and subsidized childcare for more than 80 children. The center is crowded, but the atmosphere is nurturing, and provides parents with supervision options for their children. Volunteers must be of age 18 or above with minimum education of high school.
