Inti Sisa
High up in the Andes,
in the shadow of the Chimborazo,
at the centre of Ecuador,
between the coast and the rainforest,
in the small town of Guamote,
you will find Inti Sisa,
an education and training centre
for the whole population of the area,
indígenas
- the first habitants of the land -
and mestizos
- who traditionally live in towns.
Inti Sisa is a kichwa name.
Inti means sun
and Sisa, flower.
Thus Inti Sisa means Sunflower.The aim of Inti Sisa
is to create opportunities,
by offering workshops,
both in the town centre of Guamote
and in indigenous communities.
These workshops provide
high quality education
at low cost.Inti Sisa is part of the “development plan”
of the Canton of Guamote.
