Teach English at the community school

It was a good, interesting and immersive experience. You teach in the community (20-25min to walk) and in the family's house. Teaching in the community was quite challenging for me because some kids aren't very motivated. But teaching the kids of the family &their neighbours was fun. I recommend bringing some paper & pencils with you. If you want to make an activity with the host, make sure how much you have to pay, there was some confusion. Every day I ate with the family & could experience their simple way of living. Nelly & the whole family were very caring & I learnt a lot of Spanish :)

I really enjoyed my time at the project! The only issue for me was that we lived far away from the project and internet was scarce, therefore communicating was a bit of a difficulty at times, yet we spoke with the host in great length about this problem. I will never forget about the children at the school and the teaching was by far my favorite part of the exchange! I also thank the project for the fantastic tours we had! Unforgettable!

This experience was amazing. I really loved teaching the kids and getting to know them. We got a house to live in and there was three other volunteers in the house with me, it was perfect because we really helped each other out with the different tasks. Our host took us on some really beautiful hikes and we sometimes ate with him and the family. It was hard to say goodbye to all the kids in the end and to the beautiful jungle. But I will recommend people going here it's a really good experience ✨

I came here thinking about just the kids and teaching them english. But leaving them , was probably the hardest thing. i cried and we cried and it's all love . and i'm going to come again because they are not just people who live in the amazon who need help to me. They my friends and they treat me like family and i'm going to come here again. I made connections that i never thought of making. especially because i'm not the best spanish speaker but they bare with me and tried to teach me their native language but the pronunciations are crazy. and if you decide to come here , come with an open~

That was an immersive experience to go in this place, I had to teach English and French to a group of kids for 2 weeks and it was my first time doing that, I'm glad I went through this opportunity who happened to be both amazing and tough.. Haha, a great challenge, and also to express myself in Spanish! the eco village and his family were really nice people, a pleasure to meet them and to learn more about another culture! I get inspired by new ideas and lifestyle now :)

Our experience was good. We arrived around 7:30 pm, so it was dark. the eco village changed the arrival location last minute, however, the new location was 25 minutes walk from the original place. the eco village and Nelly welcomed us in a very gentle manner, they even clocked something for us. The place where we stayed was not the best, an unfinished house with no covering on the windows and opening on doors, so all type of insects were able to come in. Nevertheless, we found a way to make the place feel like home (thanks to Elisabet). The outdoor shower was good! The kids are nice and we enjoyed teaching them
