My whole experience with the project Volunteers was perfect from A to Z. I felt welcomed and comfortable the second I arrived. The whole team puts in a great effort to make everything perfect and honestly it was. Everything was super well organised and all the activities were genuinely fun. I totally recommend to anyone who wants to meet great like minded people and wants to dive in to Bucaramanga. Thank you again to the whole team and all the volunteers had the best week 😘

What an incredible experience and honour it was with the project. Prepare yourself to dive into the Colombian culture and take part on multiple projects of local foundations where you will learn and create an impact to their community. Besides, you can expect a lot in return as a personalised program will ensure that you get the most out of your stay. Many thanks to the whole the project team and the group of volunteers!!
