The Experience
The volunteer would spend some time with my son Matias, practicing English while playing with him, help him to have his things done (schoolwork) and take him to school. Matias and I use English to communicate each other all day long, but he speaks Spanish with mom and at school, too. The volunteer can also join my classes at work so you’ll be able to interact with locals and learn about our educational system. You’ll love it. I guarantee!

What a great experience me and my partner shared! Helmer, Lorena and matias were such a lovely family to live with. They showed us traditional Colombian dishes, taught us about the culture here and even took us to Colombian schools to help improve their English. A real privilege to get to do this, would recommend to anyone!

Helmer and his family were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. We spent time at his English classes, helping his students practice their language skills. His son, Matías, was a delightful companion, and we had a blast playing with him in English. The family also helped us improve our Spanish and treated us to delicious local cuisine. We're so grateful for their hospitality and kindness!
