My experience at the daycare was very positive. I worked at the school and had the opportunity to spend time with the children every day, which I really enjoyed. The promised meals were always provided, and the host was kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. I also met other volunteers staying at the same finca. The only downside was the accommodation: the finca is very humid, making it difficult to wash and dry clothes. Mold developed on my backpack and some belongings, but I stayed during the rainy season, which likely contributed to the problem.

Good experience for this volunteering, the children are very welcoming, the work is from 7 to 12 a.m., the afternoon and the weekends are free. A car takes you and takes you back to the farm where you live, there are other volunteers working on this farm. It's in the middle of nature so don't expect a very clean environment, also for the rooms and the place is also very humid with bugs. Bike are available to go shopping.

I had an amazing time at the Finca and the project! I loved working and playing with the project and helping with some small tasks, the only thing I had a hard time with sometimes was getting up early. The family was very welcoming and helpful and the game nights together were so much fun! It was also so nice to meet the other volunteers, we did a lot together and had a really good time. The only thing that could be better was the cleanliness of the house and facilities, and sometimes the communication also wasn't super clear. But that are the little details,it was an amazing experience!
