Muchas gracias Tip for your support during this time. You were a very calm addition to the team in the bbeginning but I think the progress you've made was notable for everyone. The workshops turned out very nicely thanks to your creativity and kindness with the kids Good luck with everything and hasta pronto 💚

We loved our stay at the organization, a fun place with lots going on, staying a long time is a real benefit so you can enjoy the freedom of taking ownership of projects your working on and getting involved in the community. It takes a week to settle in and find your role but once you are settled you will feel part of the casa caribe family.

Good experience overall. The hostel is stunning and the food is so good. Good environment with the managers and cool vibes with the other volunteers. Pretty far from everything tho (beach and supermarket are like 15 minutes walk)

Maravillosa experiencia, en una comunidad alegre y comprometida con el cuidado del medioambiente, compuesta por personas muy valiosas que me enseñaron mucho y donde me sentí muy acompañada y que mi trabajo fue un aporte. Se respetan las horas de trabajo, los días libres y se comparte en un buen ambiente. Totalmente recomendable!
