Lucky & Andy are beautiful people who will welcome you into their life. They are very kind & will make sure you are looked after. They are also very informative and tell you a lot about their culture. I enjoyed my time volunteering with them, experiencing their Guatemalan life. The work was very fair. Some days are longer than others but it's flexible as there is lots of space for communication to make it work for you both. We went on day trips outside of Sumpango, some for work and some for not. This was amazing as I saw different parts of Guatemala I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Recommend!

This was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't ask for a better host. It's a charming and lovely place, with many trees and fresh air, and the kitchen and bedroom are well equipped. The tasks are relatively easy, just remember not to underestimate them. Lucky and Andy are very welcoming and made me feel home from the very first day, made me have amazing experiences and got me to know more about Guatemala. I enjoyed a lot taking care of Capu and Dobby, they were the nicest pets ever. I would definitely repeat this experience.

The home un lugar hermoso, tranquilo y rodeado de naturaleza. La experiencia en el voluntariado fue positiva, Lucky y Andy nos recibieron de la mejor manera, dos genios. Tuvimos la oportunidad de poder compartir paseos, comidas, anécdotas y risas. Las tareas fueron las acordadas, además nos brindaron una habitación confortable, cocina, living y la compañía de Capu y Dobby. 🐶🐈 Súper recomendable
