I had a great experience volunteering here. Lukas and Nathie are very kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Even when I had to leave earlier than expected for personal reasons, they were very understanding and supportive, which I really appreciated. The students are friendly and it was a pleasure working with them. The schedule (1 hour in the morning and 3 in the afternoon) leaves enough free time to explore the city. I'd recommend having a good level of Spanish, as communication can sometimes be challenging. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it!

Really it was a beautiful experience. Nathie and Lukas are excellent hosts, they made us feel very comfortable and welcome from the first day. Volunteering with the girls and boys was one of the most beautiful experiences we had on this trip. They are a beautiful group and we took a ton of memories from all of them. Without a doubt I would love to come back.

Our experience with the host was wonderful. The work with the children was beautiful, with the possibility of collaborating in learning and also in play. Nathie and Lukas were excellent hosts; they not only fulfilled what was agreed, but also helped and accompanied us to know the city, they introduced us and shared their family with us, among many other actions that made us feel at home. An absolutely recommendable experience if you like work and play with children.
