The Experience

We are Santiago and Sabina, a couple living in a cozy house with a vegetable garden where we grow fresh vegetables for the local market. We are located just a 10-minute walk from the public transport toward Chiclayo, which makes it easy to get around if you want to explore the area. We lead a simple and peaceful life, based on Christian values. We do not smoke, we do not throw parties, and we value mutual respect and harmony at home.

I stayed for 2 weeks. The family was warm, hospitable and respectful. The family (parents and adult children) live in the house and are very busy but I was invited to join their activities. I went to market with Sabina and met friendly locals and stall holders, picked and learnt about local fruits and other crops that grow on the family chakra and was invited to go with Joel to his bee hives. Sabina is an excellent cook, always insisting that I eat or try some fresh fruit on the chakra and has endless energy. I was taken on local outings. The work was light and enjoyable.

I stayed for a few weeks with the project and Sabina, and their adult children, John, Joel and Sarai. I had a very comfortable private room. Sabina prepared most of the meals, which were quite amazing peruvian dishes. They would also often take me to eat in local restaurants, which were quite nice. The work was quite rewarding and I got to learn a lot of things. I worked with bees, and in the vegetable farm and I had a lot of flexibility with my hours. They cared a lot about my happiness and I was always treated like a member of the family. I would like to thank them all, especially Sarai.

This host takes care of their volunteers very well. They make sure you are well fed for breakfast, lunch and dinner and will always give you somthing to do if you feel as though you dont have enough to do. Here you will learn about farming techniques and will be able to eat fresh Peruvian fruits straight off the trees if you wish. You may also be able to meet other international or Peruvian volunteers during your stay. You will get the chance to have close interactions with friends of the family and locals in the community, making for a truly emmersive cultural experience.

They are a very hardworking family. I took on days with different tasks; from the first day Sarai asked me what I would like to do the most, and I told them that a bit of everything, so I could see a bit of everything. Joel taught me about wasps, very professional; another day I was at the farm with the proyeto, a very kind man, the meals delicious, always from the mother 🫶😊 and one day I went to see how their work was, Sarai and Moisés, I laughed a lot... I could use the gym whenever I wanted and they were always very attentive to make sure I was comfortable, great experience ♥️ thanks 😊

Mi experiencia de voluntariado en el proyeto ha sido verdaderamente enriquecedora y gratificante. Quisiera expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a Saray, Joel, Jhon y sus padres, quienes con su calidez y generosidad, me brindaron una acogida inolvidable. Su dedicación y pasión por el proyeto por enseñar a otros son inspiradoras. Gracias a ellos, mi experiencia en el proyeto ha dejado una huella imborrable en mi vida, motivándome a seguir participando en iniciativas que promuevan la conciencia ambiental el proyeto desarrollo comunitario. ¡Gracias por todo!
