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

Cuando llegué a la familia Tello y Casa Ainbo, no imaginaba encontrar personas tan grandes en todos los aspectos: valores familiares, respecto, amor, trabajo con los niños… y mucho más. Lo que uno encontra, sobre todo, es una familia - y eso hace que despedirse sea muy dificil -. Mis recuerdos siempre quedarán en mi corazón y mi mente… la manera en que mamá Berta cuidó de mí quando estaba muy enferma, la organización de mi cumpleaños que la familia hice con tanto cariño, las comidas interculturales compartidas, los niños de la ONG tan cariñosos. En breve, recomiendo 150% esta experiencia!!!

Quiero de todo mi corazón agradecer la ONG y la familia para esta experiencia maravillosa, tanto trabajar con los niños que son los más adorables, que vivir en la casa con la familia, los sobrinos, ser parte de la vida locale, ver paisajes idílicos de la Amazonia. Cuando he estado inferma, Bertha, la mama, se ocupó de mí como de su propia hija. Cada día me sentí incluida y benecida. Gracias a Ericka por hacerme sentir como su hermana, compartir, conocer a sus amigos y la ciudad. Todos eran increíblemente generosas y me van a hacer falta. Nos vemos. De verdad, gracias, hacíais un mundo mejor ☀️

La experiencia con la ONG fue muy enriquecedora, por un lado compartir con encargados y voluntarios para poder trabajar en equipo, y por otro lado la experiencia de compartir y poder guiar a las infancias en su proceso educativo personal. Aprendí muchísimo como persona y como profesora, espero volver algún día! Gracias por la oportunidad!! 🫶🏽

This is my second time with this particular exchange. There are many positive changes since the last one which was only a year ago but the one thing the greatest thing that has not changed is the love in which everyone is received by the host family. Getting to know the people of the home and community is the thing that will always keep me coming back. There are not enough words or characters to put down on paper so I can really only describe in a new way by saying- Until we meet again! 🙏❤️

I can't begin to talk about how amazing this family was to stay with, I speak little Spanish and they were so patient and kind with me, and truly made me feel safe and excepted. Even if there was a miscommunication it was greeted with love and understanding. Even if I don't return with Worldpackers I would come back to visit and see how they are doing and visit. Everything they're doing is a Godsend. Traveling to another country is a big decision in itself, and I couldn't be happier that my first trip was with this family and Casa Ainbo and its students. I am dreading leaving on Saturday. <3

I had an absolutely incredible time working with Casa Ainbo! The family you stay with are so welcoming, generous and fun. They're always happy to help you however they can and they treat you like a member of the family. I recommend staying here for as long as you can so you can really invest time with the kids. There are a variety of things you can do to help. During my time here I taught English; helped with a range of homework; supported with sports and assisted with events amongst other things. Iquitos is an amazing place and a real adventure and I hope to return someday in the future.

I applied to stay for one month but decided to stay for almost two, because I really love the house and I felt like it is hard to build a stronger connection with the kids in such a short time. I gave art clases and the kids really loved them. I was free to do whatever I want and to use all the materials so we could get really creative. I loved seeing the kids getting creative. Especially the kids that think they cannot really draw. If you plan your clases well you can make the kids really happy. The other days we helped them with their homework, which also is really important. I recommend

This is an absolutely wonderful project. The family who take you in our lovely, warm and kind. If you show them respect and kindness they will take you as one of their own. The work itself is incredibly rewarding and you get to help kids who really appreciate the work that you do. Iquitos is a really interesting city also. Would definitely recommend
