My experience at the school was incredible! The instructors and students were welcoming, motivated and kind! My host, Emilia, was amazing. She invited me to restaurants, cafes, and I even met some of her family members, which allowed me to immerse myself in the culture of two beautiful countryside towns in Colombia: Paipa and Tuta. Paipa and Tuta are both peaceful, scenic towns. Though I volunteered for a short time, I am so grateful for the memories and friends that I made during my stay!!

Staying with Emilia and working in the school was an amazing experience. Paipa is a small, calm town, not the place to go if you're looking for a party, but if you are looking for a place to relax in nature, and contribute to a meaningful project this is the one! Working with the students in the center was a great experience for me.

Teaching the students at the school in Paipa was a highly rewarding experience. The other teachers were welcoming and the host, Emilia, was always bubbling with joy and kindness. I would go back in a heartbeat 🙂

Emilia is a super enthusiastic, kind and helping person, but she also gives you a lot of freedom, responsibility and trust. I didn't only feel well treated but respected too. You will be living on the countryside between the cows and the trees. It is a really beautiful and peaceful place. There is a village not far away and maybe Emilia could even help you to get access to a bike.

Spent a month with Emilia at the school and the time flew by! I stayed in her home in Tuta, and we drove to Paipa most days (or took the bus) to teach lessons, rotating between morning and afternoon classes. I also got to volunteer at a private school on Tuesdays which was super fun. Emilia was a wonderful host that showed me the best of Boyoaca and more. Gracias su merce!
