I did volunteering with my best friend during the past 2 weeks and it was an incredible experience! Everything was amazing and the people of the fondation took care of us like family. All of them are amazing and the kids give so much love! Every day there was a new adventure and we had this amazing feeling of accomplishment after every journey. They made us see Colombia from all perspectives and it changed our way of seeing life. We are heading back to Canada with great memories and our heart fulfilled with love! It's something we would recommend to everyone visiting Colombia!

I stayed with the project and the project for three weeks and loved every minute of it! The projects of the foundation are very meaningful for the local community and promote wellbeing for many families, children and women in vulnerable situations. The volunteer house is very cozy and spacious located in a lovely neighborhood. The people working in the project have taken me as a part of the family and shown me around town and beautiful places i would't otherwise as a tourist have even found! I will come back as soon as possible.

Jamás pensé que me gustaría tanto este voluntariado, poder conocer los propósitos, visitar más fundaciones, poder hablar con los fundadores y escuchar las historias, la oportunidad de poder estar con los niños en el día y el cariño que les tengo luego de estar dos semanas con ellos, definitivamente volvería a ir así como todos los voluntarios que han estado en este lugar, el equipo es como una familia y te hacen ser parte de ella, la casa de los voluntarios es muy completa, me quedo muy alegre con todo el aprendizaje recibido
