My experience had positive aspects, especially learning about the project and afro-ecuadorian culture, but the position advertised as kitchen hand mainly involved washing dishes for 5 hours with cold water, when i arrived the bed slats were out of place and i had to fix them myself, although i asked what food i could eat, i was told i could not eat certain things, on a sunday when the restaurant was closed and volunteers were off, i was asked to sweep the entire upstairs floor, future volunteers should clarify duties, food, days off and accommodation beforehand

It's a wonderful place to volunteer, I'm glad I chose it. My task was to help in the kitchen. A month flew by in no time ✨
I learned a lot about the local cuisine, culture, and history.

My experience at Casa Martina was beautiful, since I was able to get to know Afro-American culture, its food and its dances. I felt very comfortable and safe. I loved its customs. Without a doubt I would return. Thanks Viki for everything and your mom with affection Vane❤️❤️❤️🙌🏽 I love Ecuador 🥰🥰🥰 haha and the karaoke, haha

An incredible experience, the truth is that you feel very comfortable at all times, the work was super simple and with flexibility to my schedule and above all the quality of people who are Vicky and her mom who make you feel part of it at all times, in addition to the food being very tasty! Highly recommended to go to the Carrillo project!

Casa de Cultura Carrillo project is a precious jewel in the middle of Quito, an extremely important space for the diffusion, production and nourishment of Afro-Ecuadorian culture. It was a great pleasure to be able to be part of the project for a few weeks and it was exactly like that: being part of it. Vicky is a great cultural manager and an active agent in the territories. I learned a lot from her about the Ecuadorian Black movement, about Afro-Ecuadorian culture and about the ancestry of her people. I will miss the project! Thank you for everything.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
