The team behind the project formed by Armando is spectacular; they are very humane and kind people. At all times they respected my time and my learning of the local culture was very good. Best regards

It was my first volunteering experience; they are very warm and friendly people, I had a good experience, I just feel there could have been a bit more organization, but apart from that my stay was very pleasant.

I met very interesting people and new places I hadn't been to before. I think that, since they are the first volunteers, a bit more information and a better introduction with the owner of the house where I stayed would help. They are very warm and kind people, but there were moments when I felt a little awkward. It's a good opportunity to contribute to this project; it really has a lot of potential. It just needs to fine-tune a few organizational details regarding volunteering.
