Muy agradecida de los días vividos junto a la familia Mainoi, me recibieron para la Navidad y pasé una linda experiencia, me mostraron paseos, ríos y cascadas cerca, son muy buenas personas, amorosos y flexibles. Es muy lindo donde viven! en medio de la naturaleza, te ayuda mucho a conectar con ella y contigo mismo:) quedé muy agradecida y siempre los recordaré con cariño

Mi experiencia no fue buena, los horarios que figuran en la aplicación no son acertados. Son 5 horas de trabajo con dos dias libres. El primer día media hora después de llegar, trabajé con bioconstrucción y lijando madera, un trabajo intenso y que requiere de cuerpo. Las condiciones me parecieron nada óptimas cómo para tener que pagar aparte por la alimentación. No había agua caliente porque eso requería conectar la electricidad. Iba a dormir en una cama y a ultimo momento dormí en un colchón en el piso. Al otro día me fui y tuve que pagarles. Trabajé y pague, no tuve buena experiencia.

Uma vergonha receber essa avaliação, sendo que te acolhemos e ficamos disponíveis para qualquer desconforto e você foi embora, no segundo dia, dizendo pra gente que teve uma ótima experiência.
Os horários estão bem combinados desde o princípio, são 4 horas de trabalho, tempo que você trabalhou no dia em que chegou, após ser perguntada se estava disposta. Além das 4 horas de trabalho, o que também foi conversado, o trabalho com limpeza e organização tambem era esperado e você não finalizou nada, deixando a cozinha suja e desorganizada. Decidiu ir embora no segundo dia, mesmo sabendo que o trabalho aqui era pesado e que estávamos no meio da floresta, depois de termos feito toda a compra de alimentos pra semana toda, nos organizado e deixado de receber outros voluntários e ainda esperava receber a contribuição de volta? Péssimo. Melhore sua comunicação e responsabilidade nos próximos voluntariados

Fue una experiencia muy power sumergida en el medio de la mata, es una de las mejores cosas sin dudas! La familia es muy sencilla para adaptarse y en general las tareas que te dan. No me pareció que se cumplían la horas para voluntário, ya que figura en la plataforma 4hs pero te piden estar más tiempo haciendo tareas de hogar, limpieza o estar con las crianzas. El lugar esta bastante alejado de prácticamente todo y los caminos son complejos con muchas subidas y bajadas, se requiere un buen estado físico jaja!

Só para esclarecer, não pedimos mais horas de trabalho. A conversa é clara desde o princípio de que manter a limpeza e organização da casa e, inevitavelmente, conviver com as crianças, são atividades para além das 4 horas de trabalho do voluntariado ;)

Primer voluntariado que hicimos. El lugar es hermoso, rodeado de vegetación, mucha paz, ideal para conectar con uno mismo y aprender mucho. La familia fue muy acogedora, nos sentimos parte de ella en todo momento y voy a agradecer siempre haber pasado por AbyaYala. Cosas en contra: muchos mosquitos, la distancia a los mercados en caso de necesidad urgente. A favor: nunca nos hicieron faltar la comida, aprendimos bastante del idioma, comidas y usos de plantas. Hay muchos lugares hermosos para visitar siempre y cuando quieras caminar. Muchas cascadas y ríos cerca. Las crianzas son muy adorable

Foi incrível conhecer a Família Mainoi. É admirável e inspiradora a escolha de vida dessa galera maravilhosa. Fiquei super a vontade, foram super atenciosos, bem flexíveis, compreensíveis e carinhosos. Foi a experiência de uma super imersão num estilo vida mais equilibrado com a natureza. Aprendi, muito sobre agrofloresta, permacultura, tipos e propriedades de plantas, além de formas de beneficiamento de alimentos, receitas veganas. Mas o melhor de tudo é que eu fiz novas amizades, que me ajudaram a expandir meu olhar sobre a paternalidade, sobre o cuidar. Sou muito grato pela experiência!
