About the experience in: Ibagué, Colombia
United States
I left recharged and connected to Colombian culture / lifestyle after my time at the home. The classes are easy to facilitate with the provided lesson plans. A few of the class activities were outdated and could use some updates, but in those cases it was easy to improvise by revisiting a topic the students needed additional help in. I taught classes with 2-5 students each, one class in the morning from 8-10am and one in the evening from 630-830pm. This allowed for 8 hours during the day of free time, during which I went to the gym, read, or hung out with the other volunteers.
