Description

Welcoming volunteers has been an activity that has drained me of too much energy. Mainly because they haven't had enough cultural experience or humility to adapt to the reality I offer them to see. Being rude to them isn't my thing. I prefer to educate them. The requested fee is to cover the food expenses of the volunteer and of the people I will introduce them to. If you can't pay that fee, we can find a way for you not to pay.

The Experience

Casa Webo is a family home that we, Eduardo, Nayeli, and Beatriz, inherited upon the death of our parents. Eduardo runs the space. We decided to open the house to the community in such a way that Eduardo works with local schools. We also occasionally welcome creative people interested in learning about the work Eduardo does with food and medicinal plants. The volunteer will help us continue to improve the space.

Lalo is an amazing human being. we had wonderful conversations, I met his family and friends and I truly believe that his project has a huge social impact. I would recommend to everyone to visit the project and to stay some days with Lalo learning about plants and helping with the kids.

The proyeto was exactly what I was looking for: something different from volunteering in hostels with gringos who decide to play at doing something extracurricular (as I myself do in my traveling persona). Therefore, if you decide to step away from the 'typical blond volunteer', this is ideal for you. You must understand that the material conditions, as well as transportation and meals, correspond to the environment in which they are immersed. Lalo is a compassionate and funny host, who shares his knowledge with kindness and an interest in the alternative. It was a transformative and unforgettable experience. THANKS A LOT❤

Thanks Lalo, thanks the project, Eduardo is a person I am going to keep having contact with always. It is impressive what I learned in the days we shared. Lalo (Eduardo) is very wise and knowledgeable about the whole Sierra and its culture. the project is a very peaceful and welcoming place. The people of the town are too kind

La calidez y conocimiento de Lalo te hacen sentir en casa desde el día 1. Casa Webo es muy interesante por cada rincón que la mires y el proyecto en si es muy bonito. Lalo me permitió sumergirme en la cultura, aprender y compartir con todos. De nuevo, muchas gracias!
