This center was set up to help the poor families (mostly single parent) to look after the kids as their parent(s) have to work and cannot look after them. Our job was to play with them. There is a lack of manpower the ratio of teachers to kids is 1:9.

Intinan Solar Museum
This Museum focuses on indigenous Ecuadorian life. It is also in the middle of the world. There are a few games to play on the equator. Such as balancing an egg on a nail on the equator line. If you manage to do it, you will be awarded a certificate as egg master. On the equator, there is less gravity so you can jump a bit higher. You also can try to balance on the equator line with your eyes closed. (It’s harder than you think!)
