The organization is a community center with enormous potential. I met incredible people and made precious friends. The volunteer coordinator is patient and understanding. Unfortunately, in my modest opinion, this place is a chaotic mess due to the host that lacks integrity, compassion, and empathy. The FEW locals that actually enter this center are wonderful. Local and foreign volunteers told me they felt like they were being exploited. For me, the facilities and living conditions are disgusting and barely livable. For me, this place should never be able to distribute food or host volunteers.

Many thanks for your feedback Santi, indeed we all are very grateful for your comment which helps us to remember that leading an NGO and hosting volunteers is not an easy thing everyday. We also have to accept we can't satisfy everyone's expectations but fortunately a large majority of our volunteers are having amazing experiences with us and are happy to contribute to the important social impact the NGO is bringing to the 250 families we attend every year. Thanks to your criticism and behaviors with us during your short stay, we explored many ways to increase the satisfaction of volunteers, but we need to remain humble and accept that we can be limited with some people. In your comment you judged in a couple weeks the work of 6 years and it’s your right. Even if you did your best to demotivate the team during your stay, you are not the first to try it and won’t be the last; fortunately even if are not perfect we are in continuous improvement loop and plenty of people here are committed and grateful for years about it, and always happy to come and collaborate.
To conclude, I will be glad to listen to your experience the day you will have led your NGO for six years and wish you to be able to do a better job than us.

The organization is a really special place to meet wonderful people all around the world, from the moment I stepped in the centre it felt like home, as if I had been there forever! I enjoyed my time here and it was a great place to practice my Spanish. I would definitely recommend! The only thing I would say is that the volunteering involves a lot of cleaning of the centre which was super clear, as long as that's something you are happy with there are lots of projects and people you can get involved with around you. All you have to do is ask! ❤️

The experience was amazing, even if the tasks may not be always as you expected. I would recommend to give a better explanation of what is need to be done when volunteers arrive, because for them it may be not really clear sometimes. For the rest, I had a wonderful experience, especially because of all the other volunteers I met and I could share the experience with.

The organization was my first experience as a volunteer; I spent a really good time there, people were all super nice, I felt that I had my place there ;) Everybody came from different countries, so I could discover new cultures and share mine as well, as I expected! By living all together, you learn a lot about life in community, and also about yourself, it's really rewarding, I think everyone should take part to this kind of experience once in his life! Finally, Jean is a really interesting guy; he's very open-minded and is able to talk about everything, he can bring you a lot! I recommend++

My experience at the organization was amazing! Everyone is so kind, openminded and overall just lovely. I immediately felt welcome and at home. I only stayed two weeks which is not nearly enough so I definitely recommend staying longer if possible! Thank you for everything!

I had one of the best times in the organization! Everyone was so nice to me always and it truly made me feel welcome and as a part of their little family of volunteers. I am so grateful for this experience and would definetely recommend it for anyone who's open to learn more about themselves while having a great time. Hope to come back in the future!!

J'ai adoré mon expérience à Enriquez Arte. J'y ai rencontré des gens formidables. Du moment où on met les pieds au centre, on peut ressentir l'esprit ouvert et communautaire de l'endroit. J'ai été accueillie à bras ouverts. Je suis repartie avec de nombreux et merveilleux souvenirs. Je remercie Jean et l'équipe Enriquez Arte pour cette fabuleuse expérience. Je recommande fortement!

It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of Enriquzarte, the environment is so friendly and the services provided to the community are very important for the people of the area. I also experienced some of the workshops and learned a lot about wellbeing. I had such a lovely time that I am coming back for more volunteering.

The organization was a very nice experience. As a guest volunteer, my tasks were different from the tasks of the long stay volunteers and, although this means that at some moments it wasn't so clear for me what I could do to help the most, I had the opportunity to do enjoyable painting projects for the place, being able to develop new skills. There is a very welcoming energy in the organization and I feel grateful for all the lovely people I met, all the classes that I could join and the ideas that I could see in movement there.
