A truly special organization that exceeded all my expectations, with one main purpose: helping others. Working with wonderful people and volunteering with children who make every moment spent with them amazing. Martín and the rest of the team took care of me from the very first moment I arrived, making sure I had everything I needed, from the basics to so much more. The place truly feels like home. There is always such a positive atmosphere, thanks to everyone who works there. If you're looking to experience the local culture, volunteer, and improve your Spanish, this is the place to be!

I unfortunately wasn't able to stay for the complete 2 weeks they have as the minimum time due to responsibilities back at home. But, for the week I was able to contribute I got to see the surface of what this organization is all about and the community in which they impact. To be transparent, if you are looking to culturally immerse yourself in the community both inside and outside its walls, as well as those you work alongside with, this place offers it to take. The more intentional you are with your time and honest about what you want to take away, the more you'll take home. Stay curious<3

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better first Worldpackers experience!! Martín was incredibly welcoming and kind. The children and adults were such sweet people: it was seriously a gift to get to know them all personally :) Everyone at the foundation was so collaborative, and I loved feeling like the work I was doing had a real purpose and that I was genuinely making an impact! Spanish is my second language, so sometimes I would have a little bit of trouble understanding people, but everyone was quick to help me out! This place will always hold a special place in my heart and I will be back!

Amazing experience, the foundation is fantastic and offers incredible opportunities for children and young adults in the area. I did go to the foundation without speaking Spanish and I was limited and I would say it’s something I would say you need in order to help fully and offer more to the foundation.

I volunteered for two weeks at the project with my girlfriend, and we honestly could not have asked for a better first experience with volunteering abroad. The foundation itself does amazing work with adults and children of the local area. It feels like an oasis to the admittedly rough area of Las Heras. Martin, the host, was extremely accommodating to us, while also showing that he cares like nobody else could about ensuring those schooled and working at the foundation are well fed and educated. I could not recommend it more, we wish we could have stayed for longer.
