The organization is a special place, I gained a lot from my experience there. Volunteering with the kids was an easy and lighthearted activity, meeting locals and getting the chance to form connections with them was an unexpected but valuable opportunity, and exploring around Trujillo was always an adventure. I have a lot of things I could say, but words could not explain what my time in Trujillo meant to me. I would mention that knowing a decent amount of Spanish could be very helpful to you, but overall people are kind if your Spanish skills (like me) are quite bad!

I had a wonderful time as a volunteer at the organization! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, and made me feel at home. Trujillo has unique food, museums, and a beach town that's easy to get to. I helped with classes 4 times per week and did lots of activities related to the program, so volunteering days are very full usually. I learned a lot about communities in Trujillo and teaching English. There are opportunities to meet locals like community dinners and the conversation program. Thanks to all the friends who made my experience at the organization so amazing!

I really had a great time in Peru with the organization you meet locals that are really nice and show you around in Peru, you meet the children that are very sweet and kind. It was definitely an experience I will remember my whole life. What i especially appreciated is that David takes the time to make a videocall so you know what to expect. You pay for the place to sleep you have no food included but it's very worth it! You get to live in a hostel and if your lucky you can have a private room! I really had a crazy experience there I could go on for pages but you have to see it yourself!

I had an amazing time at the organization! David is a great host who makes you feel very comfortable and welcomed. The work with the children is really nice, pedagogic and doesnt even feel like work. Beside the english classes, we did lots of activities and had lots of fun. You also get to meet other volunteers as the house welcomes another NGO's volunteers + the conversation classes allows you to meet peruvians so that's also very cool. The housing is very nice and in a good neighborhood. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer! 100% recommand!

When I first arrived , I was surprised by the environment in which these very sweet children live. But, it became very clear that they are happy and taken care of. It was so lovely to be around children who are so motivated and truly happy to learn . I was amazed at how quickly they absorb material and honored to share English with them. David does a much needed and remarkable job to help these kids grow. The work is fun and a few hours a day , it did not feel like work. I loved the conversation class also and meeting such beautiful new friends I hope to see again . Thanks David (and Carmen)
