"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."
