The project is lovely and has a lot of potential. If you are really motivated you can have a great impact in the community. Especially try to help some little boys that either don't have family or are simply neglected . Some are really motivated to learn how to read and write. Please teach them, they are lovely and they need some attention and kindness. You can also organise activities like clean-ups, experiments , seek and hide. I wish I stayed more time to organise more.

Nuestra experiencia en el proyeto de Mao fue increíble, nos ayudó a aprender y crecer como personas. Las personas en Mao tienen una calidad humana increíble, y que te hacen sentir como en casa. Nuestras anfitrionas fueron muy lindas, siempre estuvieron atentas y cumplieron con todo lo acordado previamente. Sin duda un experiencia para repetir. 🫶🏻
