The Experience
El intercambio de experiencias y la convivencia cultural enriquese de una forma diferente para el voluntari@ y la familia.

My experience in the project was amazing. Just being there is already interesting, the work and the free time activities were only the extra. The work is fun, there is high variety in the tasks and working with Nelly who has an incredibly positive attitude can't be bad. It's located far from literally everything but the hikes nearby are wowww Muchas gracias por todo!! Espero que nos encontremos en el futuro

The experience was challenging, but definitely worth it. Challenging because the place is located in the middle of the jungle, therefore accommodation is basic (but at least you get a feel of what it really feels like living in the jungle!), and the nearby shops only sell the bare amenities (bread, dried beans, etc.). The teaching itself, though, is rewarding. The kids at the project are keen to learn, and teaching them is a joy. Their level of English is basic, so we mostly played vocabulary games such as mime, hangman, or matching pairs. Seeing them make progress is the best reward!

I really had a great experience at the Yaku the project, the family made me feel like home and I really loved playing with children. It's a great opportunity to connect with nature and to get to know more about the community and how they live. When it comes to the English classes, the level is basic and you are free to do it on your own style, in my case I did a mix of class and games to practice what we saw. I hope to be back one day thank you!

In complete a experience I can fully recommend! My work was a mix of handyman, teaching and painting and I enjoyed it a lot. Only thing I was missing, was the cultural exchange. the project and his family are living quite far away from the volunteer house and the school. So I was not able to connect as much with the family, as I would have liked!

Staying at the project was a great experience. But there are some improvements to do. For example, the communication isn't perfect. You might feel a little lost sometimes with your tasks and nobody to guide you. On the other hand, these are good moments to add your personal touch and ideas. Another thing is that the project is 20 minutes away from the community walking. That very point can make exchange with the family rare for some volunteers. However, if you make an effort to go to the family house, you will meet some great people, share meals and culture, and live memorable moments.
