I had a great experience volunteering here! I felt extremely welcomed by Shegu and by the whole community. The kids were amazing and brought such an amazing energy. It was difficult at times but always so rewarding. It was a perfect way to try and develop my Spanish. The only things I would say could be improved are, the cleanliness of the facility and the organization of the daily tasks. Other than that it was great!

Although I only stayed a week, my workaway with the project had a massive impact on me.The workaway is located in a small, friendly town where you have the chance to practice your Spanish with many locals. My Spanish improved rapidly and I learned a lot about Peruvian culture. The children are so sweet and you feel really supported with lesson plans. I'd really encourage anybody to volunteer here if you're looking to learn English it was a great experience.

Jarka'y was a mixed experience. There was a lack of basic organisation, times to start duties and what duties for the day. We would get a message 30mins before to start the class or lesson. There's no laundry at the house so you have bus 20mins to do that. Also there is a $3US/day fee which isn't stated on the profile. Cleanliness of the bathroom was pretty bad with a leak in the toilet. There are some great things about Jarka'y. Teaching the children was very rewarding, Salaverry is a laid back Peruvian fishing village and the opportunity to learn to surf with the boards available.

When we arrived in Salaverry they were transitioning from their previous house to a new location so the faculties weren't fully accesible at the moment. At the end of our stay most of the faculties had already been fixed. The children were very fun and most of them very eager to learn. The locals were also very welcoming, as we not only helped children but also a local green project. Peruvian culture is also very strong in Salaverry. The experience is good but I would not recommend it if you are a strict person that can't handle uncertain schedules and unexpected issues.

My experience at the project was good. Teaching English but also doing sandboarding, beach cleaning with them was amazing. As it is a new the project, some things such as organisation, plannings & communication should be improved in time. But we feel really welcomed in the local community and it's great. Salaverry is a cute little town, very close to trujillo and its interest points (ChanChan) Thanks the project for my time with you 🖤

El voluntariado en Jar'kay fue una experiencia increíble y una que no voy a olvidar. Desde hangear con los otros voluntarios hasta el trabajo en sí, todo fue súper divertido y muy gratificante. Sembrar árboles y plantas, enseñar inglés a los niños y mostrarles cómo surfear fue súper lindo, y de verdad se siente el impacto que uno genera. Shegu es un host de diez, con una energía increíble, y siempre se las arreglaba para organizar algo en nuestro tiempo libre. Daniela es la máxima, muy buena onda, y ayudó un montón con todo lo relacionado con la experiencia. Gracias Jar'kay!!

El proyeto Jark'ay es una organización muy hermosa y tenía un buen tiempo en la casa de Shegu y en Salaverry. Solo con un poco de trabajo pude ayudar a la naturaleza y a los niños locales. Hemos plantado dos árboles de coco durante mi visita. Y en la tarde tenemos clases de Inglés o de Surf con los niños. Siempre estaban contentos y el tiempo que pasé con ellos fue estupendo y precioso. Tenía mucho tiempo libre también que pasé con los otros voluntarios, para conocer Salaverry y Huanchaco y aprender a surfear. Mi tiempo allí pasó tan rápido y algún día volveré :)

El proyeto fue mi primer voluntariado. La comunidad de Salaverry le encanta esa única iniciativa en la zona. Si tienen oportunidad de ir y conocer sobre Salaverry y conectar con las personas, ese es el lugar

Participar en el proyecto de Jardinería de Juan y sus amigos fue un gran aprendizaje, compartimos tardes de cafés, buenas conversaciones, pintura y jardinería y realmente fue muy gratificante, lamentablemente el apoyo a ese grupo de amigos de la tercera edad se acabó. En relación a las clases de inglés creo que falta organización porque se podrían lograr muchas cosas. En cuanto a la casa tuvimos mucha libertad y comodidad, sin embargo, falta orden y limpieza profunda porque faltaba liderazgo en cosas básicas por ejemplo sacar basura, limpieza profunda, etc. Conocí grandes voluntarios
