Empower through Education: Volunteer with kids in Iquitos, Peru!

Three intense but rewarding weeks! Working with children was beautiful and fulfilling, though sometimes exhausting:) I learned how each child is unique, with their own strengths and needs. The host family was very kind and made me feel welcome — living with many people meant little privacy but a great sense of community. I also improved my Spanish and got a real, authentic insight into local life. A wonderful and educational experience!

Firstly, I want to say the family is incredible and super warm. They treat you like their own. I think I arrived at a strange time around Christmas so didn't get to work with the kids as much. I felt the organization its self can be a lot more organized and needs more employees to truly support the kids. I enjoyed my stay but also felt that with more organization or lesson planning and communication I could have been much more useful. Overall I am grateful for the experience. Thank you!

The family you stay with is the warmest and most welcoming! I really felt like a part of the family. Overall I had a great experience at casa ainbo. The kids are amazing and curious, even if there's a bit of a language barrier. So I would recommend knowing a little bit of Spanish. But there's many ways to help out, the most important thing is to have an open mind and bring a positive energy. Don't be afraid to ask questions! Generally in South America I've experienced that there's not always the best information flow, but be curious and ask is my best advice.

It's the best volunteer experience I've ever participated in. The welcome I received from the day I arrived was incredible! I learned so much from the people I met here, and I really enjoyed the activities! Interacting with the children and learning at Casa Ainbo was one of the most beautiful experiences. Thank you to Ericka and her entire family for being so warm and making me feel at home💖💖💖

We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying with our host family in Iquitos. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was interacting with the children. They were incredibly open, friendly, and full of energy. It was inspiring to see how ambitious they are, eager to learn and engage with us despite the language barrier at times. They were curious about our culture and shared so much about theirs, making our experience in Iquitos all the more enriching.

My friend and I stayed with the host family for three weeks and we really had a great time there. Although you live with quite a lot of people together it did not feel like it and we spent a great time with the host family as well as the other volunteers. The school is really nice to teach and the kids are great. You get an schedule with the start of your work and you have fixed working times. Our beginner level of Spanish was here not too much of a problem as the kids are willing to follow your guidance. In our free time we had the chance to go to the jungle and enjoy the time at the beach🌊

My experience was amazing, unique and unforgettable! I felt home in every single way <3 The group of volunteers was so amazing, the host family became my second family, the kids at Casa Ainbo are soooo sweet and warm and I learned a lot in Iquitos. I highly recommend this experience to everyone that wishes a true and authentic experience of social impact. The only bad thing is to say goodbye...

The host family is kind and loving. I cooked with them. We celebrated the San Juan Festival together. They embrace you as family. If you respect them and the house rules, which everyone should do anyway, you will be treated with my love than you can imagine.

Volunteering at Casa Ainbo was the highlight of my travels! Each student is so precious and energetic. I had the pleasure to share this experience with the best group of volunteers. The host family was welcoming and sweet. The students and the experience will also teach you in unexpected ways, and you are bound to holding in your tears when you say your farewells!
