The Experience

We need people who are loving but can also discipline our children. Our children come to us from a history of abuse, neglect, and poverty. Part of their education with us is not only going to school, but also learning how to be respectful, look after their things and learn to live with others as a family. Living at Misión Mexico is an intense but wonderful time for volunteers.

Llegar a the organization es conocer a una gran familia diversa con un sin fin de historias por ser contadas y entretejidas, eso si, se requiere paciencia. El ambiente tiene una combinación de la energía vibrante de la infancia, de la sensibilidad expansiva que anuncia la adolescencia y del amor explorando y descubriendo nuevas formas. Ser voluntaria aquí me ha dio la oportunidad de experimentar la conexión humana desde mi lado más genuino, el vulnerable, el sensible y el simple, que al mismo tiempo es lo que me permitió fluir en lo divertido, lo valiente y lo hostil.

Mis tres meses en la organización fueron muy especiales, disfrute Tapachula muchísimo, su comida, su gente, su riqueza natural, pude tener una experiencia maravillosa con los niños y niñas de la organización, pude entregarme al trabajo de voluntaria porque es una gran labor, fui muy bien recibida por el staff y por los chicos. Recomiendo altamente este voluntriado si quieres vivir una experiencia que toque tu corazón y tu alma, y tengas el deseo de servir a una población tan linda como son los jóvenes del país.

Nos prestaron las tablas de surf y pude practicar todos los dias !! Algo que siempre quise hacer en mi vida! Las horas de trabajo eran flexibles y siempre con la satisfaccion de saber que estas aportando a un proyecto muy importante y hermoso para los niños ! Lo super recomiendo!!

Estar en la organización surf fue una experiencia increíble! Las personas del lugar son muy amables y siempre están preocupándose por lo que necesitas, Melissa y kim son un amor! Realmente valoro mucho su trabajo. La verdad que el ambiente de trabajo es muy chill las horas las acomodas tu como te parezca mejor, casi siempre despues de trabajar íbamos a surfear así que la semana se pasa muy rápido y divertida. Estoy muy agradecida de haber formado parte,por ahi el proceso de aceptación es un poco largo por que estas en contacto con niños pero vale la pena intentarlo. Recomendación no salir de noche
