It was an incredible experience in my life, to be part of the organization Khale and the great they are doing in Belen with kids who are full of energy and anger to learn and women who are open to interacting with volunteers and developing new skills could help them in life is fantastic. I have to highlight Ericka and the teachers who are very helpful and provide you with everything need to make your experience as enjoyable as possible with them. Thanks a lot, the organization Khale for your job in Iquitos.

This volunteer experience revealed me new knowledge about the local life and its challenges as well as about myself. I stayed with a caring and generous Peruvian family and the time spent with them and other volunteers was amazing. I enjoyed getting to know the children at their school and helping them learn new things. And I learned about myself that I could not be a school teacher but the volunteer was very valuable for self-improving. I definitely recommend this experience to everyone who has motivation to be around energetic children and bring out their curiosity about the world :)

OMG! That's a lot to say. It is the most beautiful and meaningful volunteer work I've ever done in my life! Everyone on the team is super lovely and trying their best to help in any way they can. Because of this, I've decided to do more NGO work in the future. Erika is the best, and her family is too! They are super kind to open their home to host the volunteers. I had an amazing time in Iquitos and didn't want to leave, but unfortunately, I couldn't change my flight, so I had to say bye to my family (they are my family now). I miss everyone! The kids there are super lucky to have them!
