The motorcycle adventure through Ecuador not only offers breathtaking landscapes and adrenaline-filled routes, but it also provides the opportunity for Charitable Efforts on the Road: Supporting Schools in Cangaua and Oyacachi and connecting with local communities, many of which are located in the mountains or remote rural areas. During our tours through Cangaua and Oyacachi, we realized that these places offer more than just nature to discover: rural schools working hard to educate children from low-income families. These communities are part of the landscape we explore, and we want to give something back to them.
With this purpose in mind, we launched a donation campaign with the commitment to allocate 10% of our annual gross revenue as a company to support foundations or schools in need. Last month, thanks to the generosity of a friend of our company, the collaboration of our customers, and everyone’s effort in the campaign, we were able to gather a significant amount of resources. And we achieved one of our goals: to provide concrete help to two schools in Cangaua and Oyacachi, and one children care center in the south of Quito.
A Purposeful Journey
These two communities are located near routes that, as a motorcycle tour company, we know very well. Cangaua and Oyacachi are stops we often make with our tourists, who come to experience the thrill of riding through rural roads and enjoying Ecuador’s natural beauty. However, during these visits, we don’t just admire the scenery; we also observe the needs of the people living there. That’s how we identified these two schools.
The schools, with limited resources, opened our eyes to the importance of investing in their education and future. In each one, the teachers dedicate their lives to education, despite the lack of infrastructure, teaching materials, and basic equipment. The children, always smiling, welcomed us on several occasions, and we could see firsthand what they needed to improve their education. We decided we had to do more than just pass by; we wanted our presence to leave a positive mark.
The Donation Campaign: A Collective Effort
Our donation campaign was born from the idea that we can all contribute to the well-being of the communities we encounter on our journeys. We established a clear plan: 10% of all our annual revenue from motorcycle tours would be allocated to charitable causes, with a particular focus on children’s education and supporting foundations that work with low-income children. The idea resonated not only within our team but also with our customers, who felt part of this purpose knowing that their motorcycle adventures would also contribute to the development of local communities.
Throughout the year, we started organizing events and meetings to raise funds. We also promoted the campaign through our social media and among our close friends. It was precisely thanks to a friend of the company, whose generous donation added to the collective effort, that we were able to gather resources. With these funds, we set out to support the two schools in Cangaua and Oyacachi.
Delivery of Materials: A Special Day
The highlight came last week when, after several months of planning, we loaded our 4×4 trucks not only with adventure gear but also with essential school supplies for the children. Among the items we delivered were speakers for an audiovisual hall, notebooks, planners, and a variety of stationery that the schools needed to continue operating effectively.
The delivery was an emotional experience. Upon arriving at the schools, we were welcomed by the teachers, who were visibly moved and thanked us repeatedly for the help, explaining that these materials would allow them to improve the quality of education and offer more resources to the students.
One of the most special moments was when we handed over 3 sets of speakers for different ambiances. The teachers explained that with this equipment, they could conduct more interactive and dynamic activities with the children. From playing educational audio and video to organizing presentations and community events, the impact of these speakers went far beyond what we imagined. It filled us with joy to know that something as simple as a speaker could make a difference in the children’s school life.
Impact and Future
Our experience in Cangaua and Oyacachi was a reminder of what truly matters. We realized that, as a company, we have a responsibility that goes beyond offering unforgettable motorcycle experiences. We are committed to the well-being of the communities we visit on our routes, and we will continue to seek ways to support them.
In the future, we plan to expand this initiative and reach more rural schools and foundations in other parts of Ecuador. We want this to be a long-term commitment to the local communities, using our resources and network to make a real difference. Additionally, we want to invite more people to join this effort. Our customers, friends, and collaborators can continue to participate in our donation campaign, and with their help, we will be able to continue providing support where it is most needed.
Education is key to the development of any society, and we firmly believe that investing in children’s education is an investment in a better future for all. Our next goal is to continue raising funds and organizing more visits to other schools in need of support. The smiles of the children, the gratitude of the teachers, and the feeling of doing something good are the best incentives to keep going.
