The Experience

Social work during Saturday mornings on El Cerro de la Cruz where we are doing maintenance and creating a clean and safe space for the people of Salamá. The tasks usually are: cleaning the space, tree maintenance and sometimes doing some little construction work (stairs, stone walls surrounding the space). The other days would be for helping on making mosaic art, or other small chores on the house.

It has been a great experience meeting Raúl and his beautiful family and, of course, his friends. I won't forget the moments I spent during my first volunteer experience.
