I had a wonderful time helping in this project. It has opened my eyes in different ways and motivated me even more to always help people where i can. I worked with the younger kids in the afternoon & in the evening we have a bigger group of teenagers. I loved teaching both and they also taught me a lot of things about their town and colombia. The family is also lovely, very helpful and so fun to talk to. Its an experience i will never forget and I recommend to everyone to participate in this project & help the kids learn English, so they can have great opportunities in their futures.

I loved teaching English at TrainUp with Paula and friends! I developed strong connections with the students as well as Paula's family and friends. The house had everything I needed and the room was spacious. I got to practice Spanish when I was not teaching which was another goal for me. Paula and her family did a great job of including me and Clara in activities and making us feel at home. The town itself was very small, so volunteers should be prepared to make their own activities to pass the time. Overall I loved the experience and I will definitely be back!

It was an incredible experience, from the moment we arrived until the last day they made us feel very comfortable.
Sharing with the children, helping in their learning both English and sports to change their life perspective is a very pleasant feeling.
For those who want to leave a mark and generate a social impact on boys and girls with great talent and a desire to succeed, this is the volunteering opportunity.

From the first day we felt warmly welcomed. The volunteering hours were ideal, the facilities comfortable and we always had the resources we needed to develop our classes. Thank you for the trust you placed in us; we will miss the children, who were respectful, kind and committed. The food, the plans and the support were never lacking. Paula and her team do an incredible job and the impact of the project on the youth is evident. We felt very loved and, without a doubt, we will return. Thank you for everything! The experience is highly recommended.

Pasé un mes maravilloso en este voluntariado. Encontré a personas que quedarán siempre en mi corazón. Paula fue de una ayuda excepcional, siempre fue a mi lado cuando tenía dudas. Las misiones fueron muy enriquecedoras, aprendí muchas cosas. Descubrí la cultura llanera a través del baile, de la comida, y de los eventos culturales. Cocinaron muy rico y tradicional! Los niños fueron alegres de que extranjeros vinieron a enseñar el inglés y pues fueron muy motivados y pacientes. Si están buscando un voluntariado con mucho apoyo, mucha energía y muchas risas, están en el buen lugar!
