Spending weeks here was a truly heartfelt and enriching experience for me! I supported the English teacher, organized the pharmacy and donations, painted spaces, prepared markets, created videos, updated the Worldpackers profile, and led nutrition workshops. I felt trusted and encouraged to share my ideas. Living inside the center made everything even more special, it felt like being part of a family. Clear communication about schedules is important, but once aligned, the experience becomes smooth and deeply meaningful. I'm very grateful and happy to answer any questions!

I volunteered at Corazón the project and quickly felt part of a family! I helped with painting, organizing the pharmacy and donated clothes, preparing markets, supporting the English teacher, updating the Worldpackers page, creating videos, and planning nutrition lessons. You're encouraged to share your own ideas. It's important to clearly agree on schedules and tasks with the organizers. The accommodation is comfortable, services are nearby and affordable, and you can truly see the project's impact. Feel free to contact me!

Disfruté colaborar con el proyecto y conocer a un equipo amable e inclusivo. Como aspectos a mejorar, considero que deben establecer con mayor claridad los horarios de participación. Además, el acceso al alojamiento fue una limitación, pues permanecía cerrado con llave por las noches y, aunque lo comenté desde mi llegada, recibí una llave hasta casi el final de mi estancia. Creo que esto pudo resolverse antes para brindar mayor autonomía al voluntario. En general, fue una experiencia positiva.

Cosas para que sepas como voluntario què para mí son necesarias, las puertas del espacio se cierran a las 9pm y fines de semana a las 8pm. Siempre las experiencias suman algo a mi vida o eso creo. El proyecto tiene muy buenas intenciones más lo del plan de voluntarios se está recién desarrollando. Creo que con el tiempo y la voluntad de Lili va a mejorar, en mi caso personal quedó agradecida con el espacio y con muchos deseos de desarrollar ideas que falto coordinación y comunicación. Gracias Lili y equipo, las chicas/os que trabajan son un amor.❤️
