Manuela

Colombia

Hice mi primer voluntariado en la casa y fue una gran experiencia. La anfitriona es muy amable y es fácil dialogar con ella. Se respetaron todos los acuerdos y también charlamos mucho de situaciones de la vida. Tenjo es un lugar muy rico culturalmente: el centro cultural es muy bonito y se ofrecen una amplia variedad de clases. Hay lugares turisticos muy interrsantes para caminar y explorar. Esta experiencia es ideal para conectar con la naturaleza y con uno mismo
