Yackeline is a great person and her daughter is adorable an funny. The experience was amazing, a quiet place surrounded by nature and beautiful landscape. The tasks were repairs, organizing of spaces and painting. Also we made “empanadas”. Everything it were great. Thanks Yackeline

Yacqueline is nice lady, I just stay 2 days cuz it wasn't what I expected and I thought it was better go. She gave everything she say, but there are things that she need to work in. If you wanna go there, try to think in some questions to get more information, every person is different probably it wasn't the best for me but it could be for you! Thanks yacqueline and I hope success in your projects

The best thing was Amelie, a petite woman full of energy and happiness. But I must admit that since day 1 I did not feel comfortable at all, especially with the room. It was too humid and cold, and by the third day there I was already sick from the humidity.
As for the host, in general she was fine, only that there was a lack of prior communication about the tasks and work hours. Because there was zero planning, which limited you if you wanted to do something outside of working hours. I must admit that on my last day of work I felt very uncomfortable with the way she treated me and the other volunteer. For this I decided to leave early.

I'm really sorry you didn't feel comfortable; truth be told, I wasn't comfortable at all with the other volunteer, and maybe that affected things. Anyway, I really appreciate your cooperation and I wish you all the best in everything, because you have good energy and a great attitude. It's sad that for you you would have been rated a 5 as if there wasn't anything positive at my place, but anyway, everyone has the right to their own opinion. Good luck with everything and a hug; I hold no grudge.

It was my first volunteering and, honestly, I felt used and exploited. The first day I arrived I worked for 10 hours. She gave me very difficult tasks in which she didn't participate. She acts like she owns your time, and even if she saw you sitting or on your phone she would call you out. It was no longer support; it turned into a job, and she believed she was your boss, ordering you around while she went to sleep and woke up saying this turned out badly, this and that was missing. Truly, it's an experience I wouldn't want to repeat; zero recommendations. There is a God above and He knows how each person acts; I leave everything to Him.

You used to wake up late, you’d go around, you disappeared, you stayed glued to the phone all the time and you did things halfway, you logged more hours. You wanted to be paid but you paid for your lodging with work. You lied, you’re not a student and you’re not an expert in any of the tasks requested. For years I’ve been hosting volunteers and they know I’m not who you say I am. Saturday I’m going to work at 6:30 am and I sleep when I arrive! I arrived at 3 pm and you hadn’t done your hours, you were lying down.

Este fue mi primer voluntariado y la experiencia me encantó. Aprendí un montón, conocí gente muy linda y desde el primer día me sentí cómoda y bienvenida. El ambiente es súper tranquilo y todo fluyó muy bien. Me voy muy agradecida por lo vivido y con muchísimas ganas de seguir haciendo voluntariados. ¡Gracias por una experiencia muy linda :)
