My experience at the project exceeded all my expectations. I had the opportunity to participate in a program that provides free healthcare to families in need in Río Canoa, in the Manabí region. I worked as a translator, photographer, and content creator, but most importantly, I was able to connect deeply with the local community. Meeting the incredible people here—hearing their stories and witnessing their resilience—was truly inspiring. Cheers to Edison and the team for their great commitment and for the chance they give me to contribute to such a meaningful cause.

It might've just been bad timing, but my experience at the project wasn't the greatest. I felt like there was a huge lack of communication and I did not feel part of the team or even wanted. The host was very busy at that time (which I get happens), but I wish he would've taken some more time to get to know me better and to make me feel welcomed. This all might be totally different though when he is not as busy.

Compartir con Edison y la fundación el proyeto fue mágico, definitivamente el compromiso que el tiene que la comunidad a la que visitamos en este viaje que fue Rio Canoa, fue impactante y conmovedor, además de la escuela de los niños en San Roque en Quito, la verdad que si buscan compartir con otra cultura e idiomas, en el proyeto podran disfrutar de viajar y ayudar a otras personas. A demás Edisson es un excelente guia turistico , te podrá compartir los mejores lugares y de manera accesible!
