I enjoy talking with the Host Armando. I feel like I am learning more Spanish here than I expected. Colombians are so patient and very helpful. The space is very clean, I opted for a private room half of my stay and the volunteer dorm for the other half and it was so helpful. I like the variety that is offered and you truly get the opportunity to explore around either on your own or with Armando.

How wonderful it is to be able to share this with you, you are a very special woman and you have a great purpose in God. I know that every day will be much better for everything you dream of and want in your life. We send you a big hug and hopefully one day you can return. the good parcerita

Very welcoming people; the work involved was straightforward. I'd like to thank them for this great experience. There were a few communication issues at times, but otherwise everything went very well.

It was ok overall. The English classes are fully remote so you don't really get to know people in Medellin, but you work half day so you have time to go out and make new friends. They give you accommodation in the guest house and this is a nice area of the city. The hostel is small and quite, so I recommend this place if you are looking for a chilling and relaxing place

Thank you very much for the opportunity and the accompaniment. My first volunteering experience in Medellín and in Colombia. Thanks to Armando and Doña Teresa, who always have the right words and a hand in the kitchen, very warm. Very good location in the house. I learned a lot about Colombian culture.

During the month I stayed at the guest house, I had a good experience; tasks are calm, Dona Teresa's guidance avoids rework and there is good flexibility. The neighborhood is very quiet, so you can do everything on foot, Armando knows a lot about Colombia and can also give good tips.

A great man, buddy—you know we love you very much, and we hope that someday after your long journey we can meet again somewhere in the world. We bless you, and from Mom Tere and me: fair winds and following seas......
