Minha segunda experiência com a ExpandPeru trouxe novas vivências, agora num campo da Pediatria dentro da Fisioterapia, pois tive a oportunidade de estar no Centro de Estimulação precoce. Pude revisitar o Projeto Casa, como educadora e compartilhar atividades com viajantes francesas. Além disso, vivi uma imersão na cultura local e vida cotidiana, me conectando com a realidade e desfrutando momentos leves.

Experiência intensa com impacto grandioso em minha vida. Me senti segura em ambiente respeitoso. Me conectei com outros viajantes com objetivos semelhantes e pude praticar espanhol e inglês, além de competências profissionais e pessoais. Tive uma visão ampliada da Fisioterapia em diferentes ações e pude desfrutar do turismo (locais, culinária, cultura) nas horas de descanso e nos finais de semana. Recomendo e espero retornar em outro momento. Levarei comigo o que aprendi e todo acolhimento e cuidado recebido de todos que fazem essa vivência ser única.

Caroline, gracias por tus lindas palabras!! Eres una persona maravillosa, solidaria, comprometida, dedicada, educada, trabajadora, entusiasta, alegre, capacitada, proactiva, con gran capacidad de adaptación.
Brindó mucha ayuda de calidad a los niños, adultos y ancianos.
Con una predisposición admirable, ayudando a formar un grupo muy ameno con los voluntarios y el equipo de Expand Perú.

Minha primeira experiência fora do pais e foi uma coisa sem igual, desde o inicio fui acompanhado por Bernabé e sua equipe sendo acolhido, instruído e ambientado. Eu só tenho a agradecer pois lá encontrei pessoas que foram minha família nos dois meses que fiquei e creio que essa é a maior qualidade desse projeto!! Espero que um dia eu possa voltar e contribuir mais!

A experiência com a organização foi incrível do começo ao fim, eles deram todo o suporte, me direcionaram a 2 projetos durante a minha estadia. Me levavam e buscavam no começo, estavam sempre disponíveis e atentos a tudo o que eu precisava. Super indico a organização, Bernabe e Mirella, sao super atenciosos e ótimos anfitriões. As crianças do projeto são super legais, curiosas e abertas aos voluntários e estão em comunidades que realmente precisam de ajuda. Foi tudo incrível.
