I could not recommend this experience more. It's hard work but the most gratifying work—and the relationships you build with the kids on Tierra Bomba make it all worth it. I plan on coming back and volunteering for an even longer time in the future. Accommodations were quite nice too—we had wifi, running water for showers, and a well-run community-style cooking schedule.

This was one of the most profound experiences I've had in a while. Pedro has done so much for these communities and continues to make such a big impact on the island. You will fall in love with everything about Tierra Bomba.

The project was a truly eye opening experience, and something i will think back on for a lifetime- the children while at times very chaotic had SO much love and joy to give, and being even just a small part of their lives and their education or painting or playing at the beach with them during free time was inspiring in ways hard to describe. Pedro truly has been changing lives for the better for 15 years, and you can see the island changing for the better because of it. Would reccommend to anyone wanting to learn true gratuity, and help with real change- would love to come back one day💜

My experience with the project was incredible. From leading workshops to teaching water sports, every moment was rewarding and meaningful. What stood out most was how transparent and community-focused the foundation is, you can truly see the difference you're making and how resources are reinvested. Having had disappointing volunteering experiences elsewhere, this felt completely different. The team is welcoming, passionate, and open to ideas. I would 100% recommend volunteering here and hope to return one day!

Volunteering with the project was an incredibly eye opening and life changing experience. I recommend them if you're interested in learning how you can live a more sustainable life. Life at the foundation is pretty particular since you have to be incredibly intentional about not wasting ANYTHING, including plastic and water. This was an adjustment at first, but it was incredibly rewarding to learn how to see life from a more environmentalist point of view . There was also plenty of free time to explore Tierra Bomba during the week and Cartagena during the weekends!
