Rafael is very welcoming and fun. During my stay, I had a room to myself; the tasks were very relaxed, and he also buys the food. The language school offers various courses, and you contribute by using your native language. The accommodation is located in Sabaneta, close to the metro.

Loved the experience and wished I could do it again. Rafael is so passionate about languages and the school he runs is very successful. I was volunteering with my father and he made sure our stay in Medellin was amazing. From arranging Airbnb to buying us food, Rafael gave us amazing hospitality. The work was fun as well as flexible, and creates real social impact.

Amazing experience! Rafael is SO open, nice and helpful, he truly loves languages and cultures and makes sure to show volunteers the local (and his own — Venezuelan) culture in the most authentic way. The sessions with Comuna 13 kids are incredibly rewarding and fun, the other tasks I had were online conversation sessions in English and some content creation. Living arrangements are nice, having my own room in a secure neighbourhood of Medellín felt like a luxury. Infinitely grateful!

My second time volunteering here was just as amazing as the first! A huge thanks to Rafael for being so accommodating; he even handled my meals and transport while I was visiting with family. I had a blast creating content for them again. If you're looking for a welcoming and appreciative environment, this is it!

I volonteered 1 week at the home online School with Rafael :). Since the school is based in Venezuela & the students are everywhere, it s only online classes. I taught mostly chinese 3 to 4 h/day Monday to Thursday from my computer. Students were very nice, I enjoyed the experience! Rafael was very welcoming and willing to share his culture. He cooks very well and neighborhood is safe and nice. His home is small. One advice: ask before if you ll have to share a bed with someone. I was surprised and it was not confortable for me. It is not a place for cleaning freaks (: but it s a welcoming home
