Mi experiencia en Las Colonias fue increíble. Desde el momento en que llegué, me sentí tan bien recibido por la comunidad. Me quedé con una familia que me preparó las comidas, me cuidó y fue tan hospitalaria. Aprendí mucho mientras estuve allí. Todos son tan fuertes y resilientes, pero más que nada me enseñaron que no necesitas mucho para ser feliz. Los niños son tan cálidos y amorosos y disfruté mucho pasar tiempo con ellos y organizar actividades diarias para ellos. El trabajo que la organización ha hecho en esta comunidad es increíble; realmente han cambiado vidas. ¡Lo recomendaría encarecidamente!

Gracias a todos en la organización y Las Colonias por el mes pasado. El equipo detrás de la fundación es verdaderamente una inspiración. Lamentablemente, la escuela estuvo cerrada durante nuestro tiempo allí, así que tuvimos que ser proactivos para buscar oportunidades de involucrarnos con la comunidad. Después de un inicio lento, terminamos con un gran grupo de niños que se unieron a nosotros para todo, desde Apoyo de Tareas y Juegos de Mesa hasta Olimpíadas, Gimnasia y Acrobacia. También organizamos clases de inglés para algunos de los adultos. Fue una experiencia completamente nueva para mí, lo que la hizo especialmente gratificante y plena.

Muchas gracias a Marleni, César y a la comunidad por recibirme y hacerme sentir bienvenido. La experiencia fue una gran oportunidad de inmersión en una verdadera comunidad colombiana. La escuela estuvo cerrada mientras estuve allí, pero pudimos ayudar con las tareas y otras clases y actividades. A los niños les encantó jugar afuera y fue muy divertido. El trabajo está abierto: puedes involucrarte y organizar cualquier cosa que quieras hacer para ayudar a los niños. También es una oportunidad para practicar español, pero vale la pena aprender una base sólida antes de llegar, ya que no se habla ningún otro idioma!

My time here was an unique experience! We stayed with a family with three generations, dogs, cats and a parrot. We could use the house like our own. We went to the daily teachers-meeting, spent time in a class/ kindergarden group of our choice, had lunch in school (vegetarian for us). We could choose our work and our coordinators cared a lot for us. We prepared "classes" for the parents, we helped with homework and made crafts with some kids. Everyone was so lovely and happy to have us there. Be prepared to see the "real" Colombia, how many people live here, far away from the tourist spots.

I had a very good time here! All the people were so lovely. The work was interesting and varied. I loved to play with the kids in the school. The agreed working hours were met and we had a lot of say in what we wanted to work on. The people responsible for us always took good care of us and were always available if we had any questions. In my opinion, the project is very good for the local population. The children receive a good education and can grow up well. It was great to be able to help a little bit and to learn so much myself. We stayed with a local family and had our own room there 🫂☀️

I had a very good time at Las Colonias, and especially enjoyed getting to know first hand a different culture and way of living. You will be completely immersed in the community, living with the family and staying with the kids. I liked how every person was welcoming and caring, making me feel at home. I would definitely recommend intermediate/advanced spanish knowledge to live the full experience. Be prepared to be proactive and come up with some ways of participating in the school and community. You will definitely receive much love!

We had a very nice time in Las colonias. Everybody is so heartfelt and thankful that we were there. During our stay we played with the kids, helped the teachers or participated at community tasks like recycling the trash. We were very free to choose what we want to do. It's definitely easier if you speak Spanish because you can interact more with the kids, the teachers and the host family. We didn't speak Spanish so good, so we had to communicate a lot with our hands but it was no problem. They do everything to make you having a good time.

It was a wonderful and heartwarming experience. We felt very welcomed. Even though our Spanish is not good, they tried their best to involve us. But it is definitely easier if you speak Spanish. If you like to be around children, play with them and to pass on your knowledge about something, for example a language, this place is perfect. You will get a lot of gratitude back!

Las Colonias is a loving community. The kids are so cute and everyone is really kind. Unfortunately with my poor spanish it wasn't easy for me to understand them (they have a dialect and speak really fast, also specially the children won't make any effort to speak clearly). But somehow we could communicate. So if you want to volunteer in las Colonias it would be better if you already can speak Spanish. As a volunteer in las Colonias you have a lot of freedom. Maybe even too much 😅. You should be able to initiate an activity or be willing to teach a class, so you don't get bored.

I had the chance to stay to the organization for a bit more than two weeks and tbh felt quite good. the hosting family was quite warm and welcoming. the set of activities/actions you may do relies essentially on you. me and other volunteers choosed to teach English to the children of the community and went smoothly. overall the place is very chill, people are happy and have an easy contact :)
