I enjoyed my (too short) stay at the foundation so much. Martin is an incredible host and the work that everyone puts in at the foundation is inspiring. Everyone is so kind and friendly. You can see the benefit everyone gets from the place, and within a few days I felt at home - even with the language barrier! The volunteer work is fun and varied, there is food to cook for yourself and the weekday lunches by the cooks are delicious! Martin makes sure you get to see the area and experience some of the culture (asados!). Some things are basic but really, its an amazing place. Thank you so much!

⭐️ Highly recommended project with direct positive impact on the local community with fun included ⭐️ I really enjoyed my time at the foundation and could contribute a lot, with working in the garden and taking care of the animals, doing activities together with the teachers and kids (gardening, sports, etc.) or helping in the kitchen. The atmosphere under the kids, the staff and volunteers was really good despite being in one of the poorest regions of Mendoza. FYI: This comment is written in English but some Spanish skills are recommended to enjoy the time at the foundation at its fullest.

My time at the Foundation changed my life. I have greater empathy, patience, and a deeper understanding of what is important because of volunteering here. Martin and his family are providing a level of support that most families in the area don't have access to. It was a privilege to be a part of for a short while. Things to consider - You must be willing to be a bit uncomfortable, you will be living in a small space with many others. Budget for extra groceries and transportation. You must be able to work without constant direction and help without being asked. Gracias y abrazos. :)

I liked the experience in the foundation. Martin was a great host, boss and coordinator of the daily tasks. The vibe between the volunteers was amazing and I had a lot of fun beside the social work, too. This place felt like a home and a very heart warming place with a great impact for the people who are coming daily to the foundation. Thank you for being a part of this amazing project.

It was a very rewarding experience. It was great to be able to contribute to the community and develop roles and skills that were very different from those usually found in other volunteering activities. I would like to thank the host and the volunteers who made me feel welcomed and part of the project family. I hope to return one day =]

The project is the type of organisation that makes WorldPackers worth it. It was a privilege to get to spend some time with Martin, Mauro and the incredible team of professionals and volunteers that make the foundation. The team at the project took care of us as if we were family. The tasks were easy, incredibly fulfilling and impactful. Here you'll have a chance to have a voice and make an impact the way you want it. As a volunteer you're quickly involved within the community that you're supporting and you hear from them, first hand, how to be of assistance. Loved every minute.

My time at the project Fassí was brief but deeply fulfilling. Every day was unique and special, with Martin, Mauro, Alfredo, and all the other professionals and volunteers showing consistent empathy, support, and respect. They not only guided us in learning how to carry out the activities but also navigated our cross-cultural differences with care. Staying here was a true privilege, offering an invaluable opportunity for personal growth and the development of countless ideas on interrelationships and social awareness—far beyond what words can fully capture. It was an extraordinary experience.

My experience was wonderful! Everyone who worked for the foundation was very welcoming and sociable — inviting us to their homes for food and helping us explore the city. I loved working with the students, eating the local food, and exploring the city and surrounding area with the other volunteers and staff of the foundation.
