What we do

Somos una comunidad orgullosa de su pasado y de su identidad cultural y con grandes deseos de progreso y desarrollo. La inauguración de la nueva Parroquia Honorato Vásquez del Cantón Cañar, se realizó el 14 de septiembre de 1935, contando con la presencia de las principales autoridades civiles, militares y eclesiásticas del Cantón; autoridades y moradores de la reciente creada Parroquia Honorato Vásquez.
Desde entonces las autoridades de la parroquia conjuntamente con los moradores han venido trabajando por el adelanto y progreso de esta hermosa tierra; en Octubre de 1981 por iniciativa de personas altruistas oriundas del Cantón y la Parroquia se crea un centro de educación secundaria con el nombre de Colegio Nacional Honorato Vásquez, que al momento tiene el carácter de técnico; al cual concurren estudiantes del lugar y sectores aledaños, así como de los cantones Cañar y El Tambo.
La parroquia Honorato Vásquez se compone de una Cabecera Parroquial con un área de 390,49 ha., aproximadamente; 13 comunidades con un área de 6.203,01 ha.; y un área comunal de una extensión de 2.604,40 ha, (Cooperativa Santa Rosa de Cochahuayco en donde se asientan las comunidades de San José de y Santa Rosa de Cochahuayco ), ver mapa 2, es decir con un total de extensión territorial de 9455,38 ha siendo San Pedro de Curiquingue la comunidad más pequeña (1,25% de superficie) y la comunidad San Francisco de San Pedro la más grande (13,66% de superficie), mientras que el área comunal representa el 26,54% de la superficie de la parroquia, según el PDOT 2011-2014.Al año 2015, líderes y lideresas de la parroquia manifiestan que son 16 comunidades, incluyéndose Pucarsol y Quinuapata.

Social Media Intern

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
