About the experience in: Cerro colorado, Mexico
United States
I had an incredible experience teaching English in Xochimilco. I felt very comfortable in the house and there were many people in the community who were checking on me and making sure I had everything I needed. The kids are wonderful and made our days at the school so fun. Yaros is a fantastic host and was there any time I needed anything or had any questions. He really cares about this community and helping the children learn English and improve the lives of the people in the community. I highly recommend this position.

My experience was very enjoyable here. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe—the transportation with Yaros was very smooth and the community was very welcoming to me. My favorite part about this experience was the kids' enthusiasm to learn and how they treat you just like they would another friend. They are all very playful, so funny, athletic, and charismatic. Even though I can't understand Spanish all too well they made me laugh SO many times. Overall, this is a very thoughtful experience—giving these kids an opportunity to learn English and thereby creating more opportunities for them

Je n'ai pas les mots pour exprimer à quel point je suis reconnaissant de mon experience à Xochimilco. Yaros, Juan et sa famille m'ont accueilli comme si je faisais partie de la famille. Les élèves sont adorables et ont une grande soif d'apprendre et de découvrir de nouveaux horizons. Le village est perché dans les montagnes, entouré de nature et rempli d'artisans. C'est un volontariat idéal pour s'immerger dans la culture autochtone et local. J'ai pu apprendre un peu d'otomi! Les gens me manquent tous et je pense déjà à organiser mon retour 😆 Merci infiniment à tous

The best volunteering experience I have had. Working with the host Yaros was a real pleasure. Since the day I arrived I felt welcomed, and he ensured I had all I needed for a comfortable stay. Seeing the capacities in which Yaros provides opportunities and relief for communities is inspiring and I'm grateful to have been a part of it. I got to teach sports and English to a great group of kids and teenagers at a local school, and also coach soccer to boys living around the neighborhood. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a truly immersive, challenging, and rewarding experience.

I had an amazing experience at this opportunity. From the beginning, Yaros ensured that I was comfortable and had everything I needed in terms of living. He introduced me to a lovely Mexican family as well as his friends who welcomed me into their homes with open arms, inviting me to eat, attend family celebrations and visit lesser known but breathtaking natural areas. The students were a pleasure to work with as they were all keen to learn English and learn about different cultures. The experience I had here was a truly authentic experience of Mexican culture and I would 100% recommend!
