This is my second time with this particular exchange. There are many positive changes since the last one which was only a year ago but the one thing the greatest thing that has not changed is the love in which everyone is received by the host family. Getting to know the people of the home and community is the thing that will always keep me coming back. There are not enough words or characters to put down on paper so I can really only describe in a new way by saying- Until we meet again! 🙏❤️

I can't begin to talk about how amazing this family was to stay with, I speak little Spanish and they were so patient and kind with me, and truly made me feel safe and excepted. Even if there was a miscommunication it was greeted with love and understanding. Even if I don't return with Worldpackers I would come back to visit and see how they are doing and visit. Everything they're doing is a Godsend. Traveling to another country is a big decision in itself, and I couldn't be happier that my first trip was with this family and Casa Ainbo and its students. I am dreading leaving on Saturday. <3

Devin, we’re so grateful for your kind words and open heart. Hosting you was a true pleasure, and we deeply appreciate the care and positivity you brought to Casa Ainbo. We’re happy you felt at home here and hope to welcome you back anytime! Safe travels and see you again soon! 💛

I had an absolutely incredible time working with Casa Ainbo! The family you stay with are so welcoming, generous and fun. They're always happy to help you however they can and they treat you like a member of the family. I recommend staying here for as long as you can so you can really invest time with the kids. There are a variety of things you can do to help. During my time here I taught English; helped with a range of homework; supported with sports and assisted with events amongst other things. Iquitos is an amazing place and a real adventure and I hope to return someday in the future.

I applied to stay for one month but decided to stay for almost two, because I really love the house and I felt like it is hard to build a stronger connection with the kids in such a short time. I gave art clases and the kids really loved them. I was free to do whatever I want and to use all the materials so we could get really creative. I loved seeing the kids getting creative. Especially the kids that think they cannot really draw. If you plan your clases well you can make the kids really happy. The other days we helped them with their homework, which also is really important. I recommend
