The home family is incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home. Mirian and Ringo's adult children, Seba (Sebastian) and Vero (Veronica), and Mirian all speak English & Spanish. I had a comfortable private room and shared the upstairs bathroom with Seba. Mirian and Vero helped me plan fun activities like kayaking and visiting the Ibera Wetlands. Teaching at the school was extremely rewarding; I really enjoyed it. I helped students with their pronunciation and answered "how do I say..." questions while Mirian and Vero taught the lessons. The students' English level is really impressive.

My experience in Goya was unbelievable. Miriam and her family were incredibly welcoming and so willing to help at all times. As for the teaching, every single student I taught was keen to learn, and attempt to hold a conversation with me. The institute is such a brilliant project, and what I admire most is the constant drive to improve teaching methods to make it as comfortable + effective as possible for the students. I fully recommend travellers to stop by, it really is worth it!

Spent 2 weeks in a family home full of laughter and love. Time at the institute was super flexible and rewarding. If you are looking to immerse into Argentinian life style and meet local people, I would highly recommend this experience.

We loved our time with Mirian and her family, and are so grateful for the two weeks we got to spend with them. We felt so welcomed and appreciated from the moment we arrived, the work was flexible, and the home itself was lovely. Mirian is incredibly kind and generous; not only to us as volunteers but with the time and care she gives to the students at the institute. She and all of the amazing teachers are so wonderful! We loved taking part in English classes; chatting with the students and sharing knowledge with them each day. Thank you for having us, we will miss you all! xx

It is amazing how you can sometimes travel to the other part of the world and meet such like-minded people. We could talk for hours in English and Spanish even though my level of Spanish hardly reaches B1. It is amazing to see such a friendly and coherent family, so devoted to their institute, their mission. And also it was such a pleasure to see the faces of the students, who regardless of the financial hardships the country is facing, still have time and resources for education and self development. I am truly blessed to have had this experience as my first volunteering!
