It's the best volunteer experience I've ever participated in. The welcome I received from the day I arrived was incredible! I learned so much from the people I met here, and I really enjoyed the activities! Interacting with the children and learning at Casa Ainbo was one of the most beautiful experiences. Thank you to Ericka and her entire family for being so warm and making me feel at home💖💖💖

We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying with our host family in Iquitos. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was interacting with the children. They were incredibly open, friendly, and full of energy. It was inspiring to see how ambitious they are, eager to learn and engage with us despite the language barrier at times. They were curious about our culture and shared so much about theirs, making our experience in Iquitos all the more enriching.

My friend and I stayed with the host family for three weeks and we really had a great time there. Although you live with quite a lot of people together it did not feel like it and we spent a great time with the host family as well as the other volunteers. The school is really nice to teach and the kids are great. You get an schedule with the start of your work and you have fixed working times. Our beginner level of Spanish was here not too much of a problem as the kids are willing to follow your guidance. In our free time we had the chance to go to the jungle and enjoy the time at the beach🌊

My experience was amazing, unique and unforgettable! I felt home in every single way <3 The group of volunteers was so amazing, the host family became my second family, the kids at Casa Ainbo are soooo sweet and warm and I learned a lot in Iquitos. I highly recommend this experience to everyone that wishes a true and authentic experience of social impact. The only bad thing is to say goodbye...
