Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
ROSTRO DE CRISTO IS A CATHOLIC PROGRAM WHOSE MISSION IS TO PROVIDE SPIRITUAL AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE FROM THE UNITED STATES TO LIVE OUT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TOGETHER WITH THE PEOPLE OF ECUADOR.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4D
ROSTRO DE CRISTO VOLUNTEERS FROM THE US LIVING WITH AND SERVING THE PEOPLE OF ECUADOR INTRODUCTION IN 2013 ROSTRO DE CRISTO (WHICH MEANS "THE FACE OF CHRIST" IN SPANISH) COMPLETED ITS 24TH YEAR OF PROVIDING VOLUNTEER LAY MISSIONARY EXPERIENCES IN ECUADOR AND PROVIDING SUPPORT TO EDUCATIONAL AND MEDICAL PROJECTS IN ECUADOR. ROSTRO DE CRISTO (RDC) OFFERS SHORT-TERM AND YEAR-LONG OPPORTUNITIES TO LIVE SIMPLY AND SERVE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ECUADOR'S LARGEST CITY, GUAYAQUIL, AND IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF DURN WHICH IS ACROSS THE RIVER GUAYAS FROM GUAYAQUIL. IN ADDITION TO A FAITH-FILLED EXPERIENCE OF REFLECTION AND PRAYER, RDC VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT LOCAL EFFORTS TO ALLEVIATE THE POVERTY IN THESE COMMUNITIES BY SERVING IN SCHOOLS, MEDICAL CLINICS, DAY-CARE AND AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS, SOUP KITCHENS, AND COMMUNITY WORK PROJECTS. GUAYAQUIL AND DURN FORM A SPRAWLING URBAN CENTER OF ALMOST 4 MILLION PEOPLE, MOST OF WHOM ARE UNDEREMPLOYED OR UNEMPLOYED AND LACKING MOST BASIC SERVICES. RDC FOCUSES ITS ATTENTION ON THE POOREST OF THESE BY LIVING AMONG AND SERVING IN SOME OF THE UNDERSERVED BARRIOS THAT FORM THE URBAN AREA. RDC PROVIDES AN EXTRAORDINARY AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR VOLUNTEERS AND RETREAT PARTICIPANTS FROM THE UNITED STATES TO INTERACT WITH THE PEOPLE OF ECUADOR TO BETTER UNDERSTAND BOTH SIMILARITIES AS WELL AS DIFFERENCES. THIS IN TURN PROMOTES A BETTER US-LATIN AMERICAN UNDERSTANDING AND SOLIDARITY, AND ALSO OFFERS A PROFOUND VIEW OF HOW FAITH SUSTAINS THE PEOPLE OF ECUADOR IN THEIR DAILY LIVES. RDC FULFILLS ITS SPIRITUAL AND EDUCATIONAL MISSION IN TWO WAYS: BY OFFERING VOLUNTEER AND RETREAT EXPERIENCES TO YOUNG ADULTS FROM THE UNITED SATES WHILE ALSO MANAGING AND SUPPORTING VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL, HEALTH AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICE PROJECTS. RDC IN 2013 THE RDC COMMUNITY AND OUTREACH CONTINUED TO MAKE AN IMPACT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IN ECUADOR IN 2013. WHILE REDUCING TO TWO VOLUNTEER COMMUNITIES, ARBOLITO IN DURAN AND MT. SINAI ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY OF GUAYAQUIL, WE MAINTAINED THE SAME NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS (27). ADDITIONALLY, WE CONTINUED TO RUN AN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM IN THE VEINTIOCHO DE AGOSTO NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY OF DURAN AND BEGAN SERVING AT A HOME AND SCHOOL FOR AT-RISK YOUTH RUN CALLED CASA DON BOSCO IN VILLA DAULE, GUAYAQUIL. RDC VOLUNTEERS ARE MOSTLY RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES THAT COMMIT TO ONE FULL YEAR OF SERVICE IN DURN OR GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR. THEY PLEDGE TO LIVE IN A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY WHILE SERVING THE POOR, AND FOCUS ON THE PILLARS OF SPIRITUALITY, SERVICE, HOSPITALITY, COMMUNITY, AND SIMPLICITY ON A DAILY BASIS. FROM AUGUST 2012 TO AUGUST OF 2103, ROSTRO DE CRISTO SUPPORTED 13 ONE-YEAR VOLUNTEERS, AND FROM AUGUST 2014-2013 RDC IS SUPPORTING 14 ONE- YEAR VOLUNTEERS. THE RDC MISSION IS ACHIEVED BY BEING, WORKING, PRAYING AND SHARING A COMMON FAITH WITH THE PEOPLE OF ECUADOR. OUR LONGEST RUNNING COMMUNITY IS ARBOLITO LOCATED ON THE FRINGES OF DURAN SINCE 2005. HERE WE HAVE MAINTAINED 7 VOLUNTEERS THROUGHOUT 2013. IN AUGUST OF 2010 ROSTRO DE CRISTO BEGAN ITS FULL-TIME PRESENCE IN THE SECOND NEIGHBORHOOD OF MONTE SINA (IN ENGLISH MOUNT SINAI) WHICH IS LOCATED IN NORTHWEST GUAYAQUIL, ABOUT AN HOUR BY CAR FROM THE HOUSE IN ARBOLITO, DURN. SINCE THEN OUR PRESENCE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS GROWN FROM 4 VOLUNTEERS TO 7 BEGINNING IN AUGUST OF 2013. AND SINCE JULY 2011, ROSTRO DE CRISTO HAS BEEN HOSTING RETREAT-IMMERSION GROUPS IN MT. SINAI. THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND CATHOLIC CHURCH CONTINUES TO BE RECEPTIVE AND INCLUSIVE OF THE RDC VOLUNTEERS, AND THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE INCREASED OUR WORK AND PRESENCE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ROSTRO DE CRISTO VOLUNTEER PROGRAM 2013 MORE THAN 180 ONE-YEAR, FULL-TIME VOLUNTEERS HAVE DONATED TIME AND TALENTS IN ECUADOR IN THE PAST 25 YEARS. ROSTRO DE CRISTO VOLUNTEERS SPEND MUCH OF THEIR TIME BEING A PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AND FORMING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS. THEY ALSO WORK AND SERVE THEIR COMMUNITIES IN MANY WAYS THROUGHOUT DURN AND GUAYAQUIL. RDC OFFERS A FORMAL INTENSIVE ORIENTATION PROGRAM FOR VOLUNTEERS TO LIVE AND SERVE IN ECUADOR FOR ONE YEAR. THIS ORIENTATION BEGINS IN THE UNITED STATES TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE NEW VOLUNTEERS' DEPARTURE, AND CONTINUES FOR TWO WEEKS ONCE THEY ARRIVE IN ECUADOR. THE VOLUNTEERS LIVE AND WORK IN- COUNTRY FROM AUGUST 2012 - AUGUST 2013, AND THEN FROM AUGUST 2013 - AUGUST 2014.

EACH PROGRAM IS UNIQUE IN ITS LOCATION, NUMBER OF STUDENTS, AND BACKGROUND OF CHILDREN WHO ATTEND. HOWEVER, THE PROGRAMS ARE UNITED BY A COMMON MISSION AND VISION. THE PROGRAMS PROVIDE A SAFE SPACE, INSTILL CHRISTIAN VALUES, PROMOTE CRITICAL THINKING AND IMAGINATION, AND REINFORCE BASIC ACADEMIC SKILLS IN ITS PARTICIPANTS.
