It was my first volunteering and even if i felt nervous at first, Martin was very welcoming from the very beginning. He is passionate about the project and cares about the wellbeing of everyone💖 I learned a lot about the local community and of course about the incredible work of the foundación! We worked mostly in the garden, as there were no kids during summer holidays, but it was an amazing experience. I would love to return to learn more about their work. The other volunteers, the team and of course our Martin made my time there very special!💖 gracias por todo y hasta pronto🤗

Volunteering at the project was wonderful. Even before I arrived, the host Martin had made it clear he wanted me to enjoy the experience. The other volunteers were lovely, and there was never a shortage of fun. While it was summertime and there were no students for us to teach, the tasks given to us were reasonable and adequate for keeping us busy. I would recommend this experience to anyone that is going to Mendoza or Argentina.

I would choose the foundation every time. I have learned so much about sustainability- how to work with the resources you have to create what you need. I adored working in the garden, as well as any & all interactions with the students (who are absolutely precious). Martin is a wonderful host with a really big, true, heart for what he does. I am in awe of how much of a safe haven this foundation is for all who it serves. The heart and love in this place, I will hold with me on my travels onwards. I feel lucky to have experienced the foundation. Thank you Martin.
