I loved my stay in the organization, the whole team and people were amazing and welcoming, and living with volunteers from all over the world is really a unique and meaningful experience. The work si pretty easy since most of the time we were doing workshops and creative activities. The organization is usually a bit messy since we usually didn't really know what we were gonna do from one day to another so there isn't any specific and precise schedule. But it was an amazing time I spent that I can only recommend, if you have any questions feel free to text me on instagram : math6ilde_p !

Overall, my experience was amazing. I met some really special people and was sad to leave. Having three days off each week was great for day trips and weekend travel. The work was mostly easy and fun, and there was morning workshops on topics like human rights and kindness and afternoons were with the community. Communication around tasks and hours could have been better, with a lot of waiting around and not always knowing what was happening. It was also difficult to change days or get time off when needed. Despite this, I had an incredible experience and am very grateful for the opportunity.
