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

Очень хорошее место для волонтерства, рада, что его выбрала. Моя задача была помогать на кухне. Месяц пролетел незаметно ✨ Узнала много о местной кухне, культуре и истории.

La Casa de Cultura el proyeto Carrillo es una joya preciosa en medio de Quito, un espacio importantísimo para la difusión, producción y nutrición de la cultura afroecuatoriana. Fue un gran placer poder formar parte del proyecto por algunas semanas y fue exactamente así como me sentí: formando parte.Vicky es una gran gestora el proyeto y una agente activa en los territorios. Aprendí mucho con ella sobre el movimiento negro ecuatoriano, sobre la cultura afroecuatoriana y sobre la ancestralidad de su pueblo. ¡Voy a extrañar el proyeto! Gracias por todo.
