I had a great experience. Communication with the host and had option 1 stay with his family and help there or option 2 help at the school. I'm a teacher so I chose option 2. I have to say the longest part was getting to this location due to it being away from the city and you have to depend on the buses to get to the destination. But once I finally arrived Mrs. Rita welcomed me into her home. The next day I attended the school and everyone was very respectful and kind to me since the beginning. I taught the little kids from kinder to 4th grade and I had a blast!

The stay at the Communidad Pachakutik was special in so many ways. Whilst the experience was definitely not easy - the accommodation and food is relatively basic and personally I got quite sick multiple times - it is truly rewarding. Being a volunteer, you get to observe and interact with a true Kewcha community. I stayed with Rita during the week, and the project and his family during the weekends which was for me the perfect arrangement. Upon arrival, the project will give you a lot of options on where and how you would like to stay, and he's super flexible in this respect. I am very grateful. Yupaychani

16 days at the project teaching english and this volunteering truly offered the most authentic experience. I had the privilege to stay with Rita. She is one of the most friendly person I've met in my life. She would make me try tons of food, bring me to cool spots so I can learn about the region and has been truly good at heart with me my whole stay. I have been a whole member of the family, participating in day to day tasks and hobbies. A true rustic Kechwa community, celebrating humanity & eager to share knowledge about culture, wisdom and medicinal plants. Muchas Gracias, Pakra chu! 🫂🌋❤

This volunteering experience has really been amazing. It's a real amazonian life experience, living with a local family, perfect to know the culture, local stories and live like they do in the amazon rainforest. I quickly felt part of the family. Nelly and Yaku, and their kids, are always there for everything you need and to organize the work based on what you can do. I slept in a fully equipped tent that was big enough for me and all my stuff. For the rest you live just the same comodities as them and the teaching is just as any school in the world: challenging but rewarding!Muchas gracias!:)

My experience in the project was amazing. Just being there is already interesting, the work and the free time activities were only the extra. The work is fun, there is high variety in the tasks and working with Nelly who has an incredibly positive attitude can't be bad. It's located far from literally everything but the hikes nearby are wowww Muchas gracias por todo!! Espero que nos encontremos en el futuro
