This project has great potential but it still has a while to go until it's actually what is advertised. I had a great time here as I met some great people and enjoyed the day trips with Neyer. However, organisation needs to be massively improved. There is no guidance of structure for the English lessons with the locals. Most of the volunteers have never taught before and there's no structure to the lessons, meaning that they're not as impactful as they could be. Also you only teach for 9 hours a week, so you have A LOT of free time.

We greatly enjoyed the teaching aspect of the experience, it was very rewarding and enjoyable. we also had a great time with fellow volunteers, there was a lovely atmosphere and we made some amazing friends. with regards to the activities arranged by the host, we would recommend they're more upfront in terms of the cost of these activities so all volunteers are aware of additional costs they may incur and can make an informed decision on whether to attend or not. we would also say for $280 as a couple for 17 days did not represent good value for money for the accommodation quality

Estuve un mes realizando el voluntariado en SemillasLife y debo decir que mi experiencia fue asombrosa, estuvo totalmente acorde a mis expectativas e incluso las superó. Conocí gente increíble, tanto del pueblo como a otros voluntarios. Codo es un pueblo pequeño con gente muy trabajadora, honesta y muy amable. Hay varias actividades que puedes hacer. Nostrs íbamos a la piscina Sol de Codo, a la plaza a bailar con la gente local, jugábamos voleyball con ellos, fuimos un par de veces a jugar billar, nos íbamos al río, a ver las estrellas, jugábamos cartas en la casa, etc... Recomendado 1000%

Mi experiencia en la organización fue muy buena! Hasta me resultó difícil irme. Hans, Dora y su familia son personas muy amables con un gran corazón, siempre están procurando que uno esté cómodo y contento. Preparar las clases y poder enseñar a ambos grupos fue una experiencia desafiante pero hermosa. Lo volvería a hacer sin dudas. Muchas gracias!
