"It was a great experience to live like an Ecuadorian family"
Daniel from the USA

"I had a great experience with Doña Ercelia and Don Francisco. They were hospitable people and it was a lifestyle really different to my city life at home. I will always remember them, their family and the whole community. Thanks to FBU for giving me the opportunity to experience this."
Tania from Australia

"From the first day the family considered us like members of them.......... I wish to live this experience again, the interchanging of mentality and life."
