16 days at the project teaching english and this volunteering truly offered the most authentic experience. I had the privilege to stay with Rita. She is one of the most friendly person I've met in my life. She would make me try tons of food, bring me to cool spots so I can learn about the region and has been truly good at heart with me my whole stay. I have been a whole member of the family, participating in day to day tasks and hobbies. A true rustic Kechwa community, celebrating humanity & eager to share knowledge about culture, wisdom and medicinal plants. Muchas Gracias, Pakra chu! 🫂🌋❤

This volunteering experience has really been amazing. It's a real amazonian life experience, living with a local family, perfect to know the culture, local stories and live like they do in the amazon rainforest. I quickly felt part of the family. Nelly and Yaku, and their kids, are always there for everything you need and to organize the work based on what you can do. I slept in a fully equipped tent that was big enough for me and all my stuff. For the rest you live just the same comodities as them and the teaching is just as any school in the world: challenging but rewarding!Muchas gracias!:)

My experience in the project was amazing. Just being there is already interesting, the work and the free time activities were only the extra. The work is fun, there is high variety in the tasks and working with Nelly who has an incredibly positive attitude can't be bad. It's located far from literally everything but the hikes nearby are wowww Muchas gracias por todo!! Espero que nos encontremos en el futuro

The experience was challenging, but definitely worth it. Challenging because the place is located in the middle of the jungle, therefore accommodation is basic (but at least you get a feel of what it really feels like living in the jungle!), and the nearby shops only sell the bare amenities (bread, dried beans, etc.). The teaching itself, though, is rewarding. The kids at the project are keen to learn, and teaching them is a joy. Their level of English is basic, so we mostly played vocabulary games such as mime, hangman, or matching pairs. Seeing them make progress is the best reward!

I really had a great experience at the Yaku the project, the family made me feel like home and I really loved playing with children. It's a great opportunity to connect with nature and to get to know more about the community and how they live. When it comes to the English classes, the level is basic and you are free to do it on your own style, in my case I did a mix of class and games to practice what we saw. I hope to be back one day thank you!
