Working with Coplan was a great experience Dino is a very attentive host always makes sure you have what you need, though his workstyle is a little chaotic you do need to be very flexible with plans. The house is well equipped but far from the centre which makes the commute a bit of a chore. The work itself was very rewarding. Overall a good experience :)

It has been a pleasure having you with COPPLAN. I truly appreciate your flexibility and your willingness to adapt to changes when plans moved a little more than expected. I'm also glad to hear that you found the work rewarding and that you felt comfortable in the house.
I wish you all the best in your upcoming projects and adventures. COPPLAN's doors will be open for you whenever you want to return!

I had a great time!
Raul was so nice, generous and also flexible with my working hours.
I stayed there while it was raining a lot so he kindly invited me and my friend(not his volunteer!) to go with him and his family on vacation to Camaná at the beach. We felt like a part of the family and I got to know Raul a bit better. He is just such a kind person and while working, we came along good, it was fun and without any pressure. We met as equals, were joking around and something would drink a few beers after work. I had a room and kitchen for myself and felt really comfortable. Thank you!🫂

Amelie, thank you for sharing with COPLAN and for supporting the entire implementation of the Leadership Center; it has turned out very nice—the trees, the paintings, the gardens, and all the spaces.
For me and my family it has also been nice to share days on the beach and at work, you will always be welcome, have a good trip.

We really enjoyed the insights into this interesting project with young people. Dino was a motivated, supportive boss, encouraging us to participate in the workshop with presentations. He also was really flexible with the working hours. The tasks agreed on were mostly respected, but the first two days we helped with the cleaning of his garden and house for his birthday. Other things however didnt seem too polite for us, e.g. that it was implicitely expected that we cook for the host and ourselves. Our accomodation was changed multiple times between the family houses, so we had to be flexible.

Support from volunteer Isabell was accepted, but when she asked us to support her lover JANIK outside Worldpackers, we indicated that there would be variation in the room in order to provide them with greater comfort.
All activities were discussed beforehand; our support has exceeded expectations and for future dates, we will not accommodate couples who are not on the Worldpackers profile, and it will be a requirement that they are listed on the Worldpackers profile.

Our volunteering with the organization has been exceptional. Dino Raúl welcomed us from the very beginning as if we were family, opening the doors of his home and giving us the opportunity to live the culture and the country up close. The collaboration has stood out for its great flexibility and the freedom it has given us to propose our own ideas. It has been very easy to work with him and we carry unforgettable memories from these weeks. Thank you very much for everything!

The host was very attentive to my travel companion and to me. Not only did we work on the social impact, but we also got to know many places. It was a great experience to immerse ourselves in the culture and to get to know Peru.

I was warmly welcomed by Dino and Emily, another volunteer who was already here when I arrived. Although the NGO base is a bit far from the city center (but accessible by bus), we have everything here: a reliable internet connection, food, drinking water, a comfortable room, and hot water in the bathrooms. It was an incredible experience, with a lot to learn!!! Dino is a big-hearted guy who is always willing to help! When I can, I will return! s2

This experience for me was very good.
Dino, a very responsive host, and it has been nice to share meals, beers, and conversations. The work is simple and flexible, which allowed us to organize our time calmly and to explore the surroundings. I recommend it!

Dear Francesca, long days of work and cultural exchange, and above all pleasant meals in the company of young professionals who are strong in their values and commitment. It was a great pleasure to meet you, and thank you for teaching the team Spanish and for enjoying speaking it. Have a good return to Italy.

The experience was very good. Dino is a great person, attentive to the volunteers, available and very friendly. The tasks were quite simple and the organization of the work very flexible. He is quite far from the center of Arequipa, but it is perfect if you want to stand out and relax for a while.
