The Experience
We are an NGO working for the economic and social development of different communities in the Peruvian Amazon. We focus on education, ecotourism, environment, health and cultural exchange. Volunteers can also design workshops for kids or adults such as football matches, arts and crafts, environmental education, drama and so on. The idea is to connect the new language abilities with positive emotions.

I had a fantastic time volunteering at the organization! I really enjoyed teaching at the school and working with the kids. It's amazing to see that you can actually leave an impact. Moreover it is a really authentic experience. The local family is incredibly lovely and took us on many different trips. Since there are no tourists you really live like a local. The nature of the Amazon rainforest is so fascinating as well. I became friends with all the other volunteers and the shared house is also a great place to live. Thanks again to everyone! I'm very grateful for this experience!

I had such a great time in Codo! The teaching was a lot of fun and both the kids and adults were so welcoming, motivated and appreciative of us as volunteers! Dora, Hahns and family made us feel so incredibly welcome and ensured we were very well taken care of! They also provided us with great opportunities to explore the region and also to feel apart of the community in an authentic way! I can't thank them enough as a family for the kindness they showed me throughout my stay!

My experience in Codo del Pozuzo with Semilla's Life was unforgettable! The students were friendly and keen to learn . Teaching and seeing their progress was very rewarding. Codo is relaxed and friendly. I always felt safe.There are shops and restaurants and food shopping is cheap. The house is basic but the kitchen is well-equipped and the beds are very comfortable. I loved the jungle sounds at night. The locals who looked after us were lovely! They took us on trips to the jungle and Dora even invited us to her home for lunch. We became good friends and laughed a lot! 😁 Highly recommended!

I had such a great time here. Neyer, the host, was lovely and did so much with us, taking us fruit picking, to beautiful natural swimming pools and even showed us how to make chocolate. The teaching days are tiring but well paced, with teaching in the morning and a long break in the middle of the day before things resume again in the afternoon. The kids can be a handful but they are also a lot of fun, very friendly and very eager to get to know you. There is also plenty of time to explore the little town, and I felt very safe doing so :)
