I highly recommend the project! Spanish is definitely needed to communicate with the kids and the other adults. I slept in a comfortable bunk with my own bathroom, the food we prepared was delicious, and all the kids were so sweet. Most of the day consisted of prepping vegetables, then playing with the kids and helping them with homework, then rounding up and feeding all of the animals on the property. It was a great experience and a great way to be fully immersed in the culture.

My Experience at the project was amazing. The kids and the team are truly wonderful. I brought a bunch of instruments so please if any future volunteers know any guitar/piano/ukelele or violin please give a lesson or two to them, the instruments are there!

The project is an amazing place with incredible people that are working towards the same goal of helping kids and guaranteeing them a safe house where to live. Responsibility and respect are taught, the place is really beautiful and I was able to meet so many nice people who became great friends. Go to the project, they need your help and you'll get a an incredible experience back

Our time at the project was a great experience! While our spanish was a bit limited we still felt welcomed and engaged throughout. Other international travellers helped us fill in the gaps in our spanish and the experience as a whole was very fulfilling! The staff were friendly, the children were funny and the food was very tasty.
