I had the most incredible experience at the organization, it was like a home away from home! Everyone was immediately so welcoming, and it stayed that way until the moment I left. The tasks each day were varied, from construction, to cooking, to teaching classes, so each day was always entertaining. And the children are so wonderful. They are all kind, smart, and affectionate, and very helpful to one another and the volunteers too. They always had fun playing games and were enthusiastic about homework and classes, which made this so enjoyable. Hope to return some day soon!

The organization and his entire team are people who really make you feel welcome, they support you with any needs or questions you have and they make you feel like family. What this team does for the children left me speechless, they are really educating children who have good values to be great people in the future as adults. The children are incredible, they are loving and always have a smile on their face, they definitely teach you how to be happy with "nothing" I 1000% recommend volunteering at the organization. I hope to come back soon!

Life changing! It s so hard to put in words this experience because it is something you have to really experience, to feel it in your soul and to be open to recieve infinite love and pure joy from every member of this foundation, expecially when it comes about kids. All i can say is that for me the organization is a magic place that teached me genuine love, support, respect, friendship and it also reminded me how it feels to live in the rhythm of the nature and to enjoy every second of your life. I was supposed to stay there for one month, but i decided to listen to my heart and to extend.

This was a one in a lifetime experience and an eye opener! Me and my friend went together and spent two weeks at the organization. It is a very welcoming "family", we felt always included and taken good care of. The kids are adorable, loving and super nice. They are eager to learn anything, we have been helping them with math, reading and spelling(English), but also teaching them about environment and recycling, hygiene and brushing their teeth. We enjoyed every moment at the organization and their staff is fantastic too. Hope to come back soon again, the two weeks felt too short!!
