The Experience

We need volunteers to help us make the space better, in all aspects. We have space for workshops, if you have something to teach, you are welcome. On Fridays we do themed dinners, so we need help for groceries, preparation of the dinner, service the day of the event. We also want to implement a free breakfast system for everyone so if you know how to cook it's a plus.

I really enjoyed my time at the project. Reda & Marisol were so welcoming and friendly and made me feel right at home. I would have liked to have had longer to help with more things around the house - I would say make sure to come prepared to use your initiative and be creative with ways you can help utilise and organise the space. The Friday night dinners are a great experience- a lot of fun to help prepare and serve. It was also a good opportunity to practice Spanish, meet new people and really see the community that the guys at the project have created. Thankyou !!!

I had such an amazing time at the project & would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves cooking, meeting locals & international travelers! You are living in the house where the dinners are held every Friday night so your responsibility includes keeping the house clean and tidy. All these chores are divided depending upon how many volunteers there are. The chores are simple and they are flexible with the time as long as you communicate. Everything for the diner beginsThursday afternoon until Friday night after everyone has eaten and then it's cleanup time!

El proyeto es un lugar muy agradable, cerca del centro, limpio y bonito. Estaba aqui para un tiempo corto y no habia tanto que hacer, poque era una temporada mas calma (menos huespedes, menos comidas y menos actividades) pero me sinti muy bien. Reda me recibio bien, y me enseno cosas a propocito de la cuidad y del mercado. Muchas gracias ☀️

La estancia fue muy tranquila. No hay horarios como tal sino tareas para hacer, así que tú te organizas tu tiempo. Reda y Marisol están siempre disponibles para lo que necesitas. Pude alargar mi estancia una semana más y el sábado hicimos una cena internacional y lo pasamos muy bien!

La pasé muy bien en San Cristóbal en el proyeto! Me encantó la ciudad de verdad! La voy a llevar en el corazón. La casa está linda y tiene muchas flores 🌼 Aunque no era un momento donde había mucho trabajo, he podido realizar algunas tareas variadas y cocinar con los otros voluntariados para compartir y hacer pruebas para las cenas que se desarrollan los viernes. Con mala suerte me iba un viernes así que no he podido probar la buena cena Portuguesa que había realizado Marta una otra voluntaria☹️ Gracias Reda y Marisol!
