It took some time until we got to know each other and to find a good way to live together. But it is a very beautiful place to live, to help and to join this project a little of its way. Claudina and Jacobo are very nice people and were patient with us not understanding and talking much Spanish.

It's a very nice place in the middle of nature. It is next to a river and got nice spots to explore around. Claudina and Jacobo are super motivated for their project and got a lot of ideas for the future. It was nice to be a part of this development. In theorie, we worked 3h per day and helped preparing the meals. The work was about painting signs, working in the project, building walls or kitchen work. But the plans were also often changing. So you have to be open and spontaneous.

Una experiencia maravillosa, la vida es muy pacífica y entretenida en su lugar, hay muchas cosas por hacer y aprender de la gran familia que tiene Jaco y claudina, conocer a Kevin y Matías es algo que no se pueden perder, se van a quedar horas y horas escuchando sus historias, entiendes que con muy pocos recursos puedes generar un gran impacto y apoyar a muchas familias de la región, espero de corazón que el proyecto no termine y siga creciendo para en algún momento volverlos a visitar y ver cuánto han crecido, espero haber dejado mi aporte a que eso sea posible, un abrazo y gracias por todo.

Claudina, Jacobo y Kevin son una familia bien linda. Están empezando su proyecto pero creo que les irá muy bien: tienen mucha iniciativa, y ganas. Paso del mango es un espacio muy creativo, donde podrás aprender sobre ecología y trabajo comunitario, además de desarrollar tus habilidades y conocimientos. Estoy segura que lo pasarán de lo más lindo!
