Had a really great time here. The family and organization is incredibly welcoming! The project itself was really interesting and pretty experimental too, I definitely learned new things.

Considering this is my first experience with Worldpackers, it has been great! It has overcome all my expectations. I have enjoyed working beside Javier and the team I have learned a lot from them. Javier and his family have been very welcoming, they have made me feel at home... It has been lovely getting to know them. As a designer I feel like I have developed my skills and gained valuable knowledge during this time, I can honestly say I have enjoyed the collaboration. I look forward to future collaborations with Javier. I am very grateful for the experience :)

Such an insightful experience, perfect for those with a business or social media background. The family are lovely and go out of their way to make you feel at home. It's best to stay for at least 10 days/2 weeks so that you are able to make a difference and implement any necessary changes. Some members of the family speak English but the staff do not so knowledge of Spanish is advisable but not a must.

I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. The family is sweet, caring, and provided everything I needed. I had a great time with the coworkers and family including on the weekends. I enjoyed learning about the textile market in Ecuador, and specifically on how LyR is operated. After I learned about the company, we decided what the best project for me was. My main project was updating the company website, giving LyR a good foundation for their social presence. I highly recommend LyR. I'm thankful for the experience!

La experiencia con Javier y the host es única y muy buena. Él y la familia me saludaron con brazos abiertos. Pasé mucho tiempo con varias personas del equipo, todos siempre muy atentos, amigables y apoyando con cualquier cosa. El proyecto en yo trabajaba fue muy interesante y había mucho lugar para mis ideas y desarrollo personal. Aprendé mucho para mí carrera en la economía, gracias a la estructura del voluntariado (mucha responsabilidad, libertad y también buenos medios/equipo (MS365, ordenador, oficina, ...)) y el conocimiento y las enseñanzas de Javier.
