Residencia Fernández Otero
Our volunteers will have a private space with internet connection, air conditioner, an equiped kitchen that they can use at any time and other facilities.
We are a family of four people. My husband, my daughter, my son (studying in the capital city) and me. We have three dogs and a cat that are part of the family, too. They are very friendly. We are all going to do our best to make you feel comfortable during your stay in our home.

About the experience in: Goya, Argentina
Russia
It is amazing how you can sometimes travel to the other part of the world and meet such like-minded people. We could talk for hours in English and Spanish even though my level of Spanish hardly reaches B1. It is amazing to see such a friendly and coherent family, so devoted to their institute, their mission. And also it was such a pleasure to see the faces of the students, who regardless of the financial hardships the country is facing, still have time and resources for education and self development.
I am truly blessed to have had this experience as my first volunteering!

Best experience by far. The Fernandez made me feel at home, I was basically part of the family. I cannot wait to return and stay longer.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the family was incredibly kind and welcoming for the whole stay. While working at the english institute every teacher there was very enthusiastic and excited to teach and learn english. Our accommodation was also very nice, we had a private room and bathroom with ac that worked effectively. They cooked every meal for us and accommodated for our vegetarianism. I very much recommend applying!

Our stay here was amazing! They are the kindest most welcoming and loving family with the cutest dogs and cat🥰🥰The english institute we helped at is wonderful, Miriam and Vero work so hard and are amazing at what they do. The accomodation they gave us was very nice, with our own bathroom and much needed AC😂Even though they weren’t vegetarian themselves, they would cook us veggie food everyday and we learnt lots of new recipes😋They became family to us and we are so grateful for this experience ❤️❤️

This experience changed the course of my life. The family is so incredibly lovely and warm and truly made me feel comfortable and like I was part of the family. I learned so much about teaching English and am now pursuing a career in teaching. I am so grateful for this opportunity to meet Goya, this family, and the students. I recommend this volunteer opportunity to anyone with a passion for sharing language and culture
