Teaching kids in Puerto López has been incredibly rewarding, and the town's vibrant culture—seen in its art, music, and graffiti—is captivating. Locals are warm once you connect, though my housing experience was starkly different. Instead of three meals, I received 50k pesos weekly (insufficient for two days). The shared kitchen was used by hosts to cook delicious meals I was never invited to share. The house, used solely by me, was in disrepair: dirty floors, cobwebs, leaks, a stained mattress, broken furniture, mold, and a hoarder-like room filled with garbage. Great city, terrible living.

Minha estadia foi incrível, super indico! July se tornou uma amiga, saímos e compartilhamos coisas até pessoais de vida. Eu adorei dar aulas, as pessoas da cidade são muito amáveis. Só não dei 5 estrelas porque disse que dava todas as refeições e eu não recebi nenhuma, então se programe com mais dinheiro para fazer esse voluntariado e preparar suas próprias refeições. Mas em geral super indico esse voluntariado,foi uma das melhores experiências da minha vida.

This was a really great experience. July is very welcoming and encouraged me to be part of the local community. It is rewarding seeing the progress of the students and July helps with teaching and classes. Puerto Lopez is a very close community and the students really appreciate the teachers. I would definitely recommend this experience.

We spent very nice 5 weeks here ! There wasn't much guidance so we prepared everything for the classes ourselves which gave us a lot of freedom but was challenging at times. It was very rewarding to teach everyone. July and Joe were very kind and showed us around the area :) It's a relaxed town to be in and we feel like we've truly contributed to the community! We found this page to be slightly inaccurate, eg we slept in a private room and not a dorm which was great! However, the laundry wasn't free and we worked more than 18h. I would recommend to discuss all the details with the hosts.

It was great to teach, the kids were very nice and July is very helpful and there for you. She checks on you and is spending some quality time with you. Only thing was that the kitchen was often dirty, but overall, a very good and beautiful experience!

The teaching aspect was amazing. Watching the progress of the students was really cool, knowing you'd made that impact. The younger clases are a handful but very enjoyable. The older classes bring something more. Will miss them! However, a lack of communication was present throughout. You will be left alone with the classes ASAP and if you don't speak any Spanish may be difficult. Barely basic food is provided considering all meals are advertised. No mosquito net on the bed or a small fan is provided. Wouldn't recommend going alone, can be isolating.

In terms of the work, it was very enriching to work with the children and to see their evolution because we have several times a week the class with them. The adult classes are also great because they can give us other values and other feelings that the children don't have. July and Joe have been respectful of our private life and have asked us many times to go out in the evening to spend some quality time together. As for the house, they are under construction so there are some inconveniences, specially on rainy days. This should be solved in the new few weeks. Thank you for everythin
