Mi experiencia como voluntario fue bastante negativa. Las fotos que aparecen en el perfil no reflejan la realidad del lugar, por lo que al llegar me llevé una gran decepción. El espacio se encuentra muy abandonado y las condiciones son muy diferentes de las que se muestran en el perfil, el lugar no cuenta con agua ni electricidad Creo que sería importante que actualicen las fotos y la información del lugar para que los voluntarios sepan realmente qué esperar antes de aceptar la experiencia.

The photos are real, you can check that the rooms where helpers sleep are there. We have temporary Water and Electricity, we use battery systems. It is ideal that helpers have their own transportation, Supermarket is 20 minutes by car away

Con todo el respeto, no recomiendo para nada en absoluto este proyecto ya que aún no está habilitado para poder habitarlo. Tengo pruebas y fotos de que ese sitio realmente es inhabitable. No hay acceso al agua, no hay acceso a la electricidad ni mucho menos un buen sitio para poder dormir o descansar de forma debida. Entre el polvo, camas viejas y arañas. Mucha humedad en todos lados y no es buena para la salud, solo estuve 24 hs y fue un horror, realmente no lo recomiendo. Primero el lugar debería ser reformado para poder ser habitable y luego comenzar con los trabajos que solicita.

Thank you for your review, We have amended the listing to show we have temporary electricity and water. There were at least 6 other people before and with you I was there. It depends what kind of amentias are you expecting. Also days after you left, water was provided so least you can do is to help to get it quicker. At least you had wifi at the place so you could be on the phone. Lets say things how they are.
