This experience was wonderful from the beginning 'til the end. Marylin lives close to a river, in a green area in the countryside. Her house is super. I shared my room with another volunteer. She has three social dogs and an independent cat. The missions were adapted each days depending of the weather. The project is in construction and the place needs to be adapted to welcome people. It was the aim of our missions. I loved this peaceful place and I found a family there 🫶🏽 Marilyn tries her best to make you feel at home and enjoy your stay. She is open-minded, dynamic and generous.

Pasé un momento increíble con Marilyn. Me recibió de forma maravillosa y me sentí como en casa. Tuve la suerte de pasar mi cumpleaños con Marilyn, Emily y los perritos. Me hizo descubrir platos típicos deliciosos de Colombia. El proyecto es simplemente increíble para los niños del pueblo; ella pone el corazón en ello. Pude ayudar en el mantenimiento del jardín, en la construcción de una escalera y una cerca. También realicé algunas otras tareas pequeñas. En general, todo salió muy bien. ¡Le deseo toda la felicidad a Marilyn y a Emily, y que sus proyectos sigan adelante! :) Lo recomiendo al100%

Me encantó formar parte de este proyecto y poder llevarlo a cabo con los niños y niñas de Arbeláez, fue una experiencia preciosa y enriquecedora. Es un proyecto muy bonito creado para los niños/as y tambien se disfruta el trabajo que hay detrás, ya que está pensado con dedicación y amor. Marilyn es una persona encantadora que me recibió y me trató como parte de la familia, flexible y amable. Súper recomendable.

La experiencia en la casa de Marilyn fue perfecta. El proyecto con los niños y el trabajo en la finca me encantaron. Voy a extrañar mucho la comida de Marilyn y jugar al rumy con Emily. Gracias por las charlas Marilyn.. y me sentí muy cómoda en tu hogar, gracias por dejar las puertas abiertas de tu casa. Comparti tiempo de mi voluntariado con María y Majo, dos voluntarias de España, es recomendable ir en pareja.. les sugiero jugar a la ranita en el pueblo y trasladarse en chiva!.

Mi experiencia en la finca ha sido maravillosa, sintiéndome en un hogar desde el primer día. La atención y el cuidado es inmejorable. Disfruté mucho de las tareas del campo, conectando con la naturaleza, valorando la importancia de valores como la perseverancia, dedicación y la paciencia. Además, conté con la suerte de poder ser parte del equipo que llevó a cabo la presentación del programa en uno la granja colegios del pueblo. Esta experiencia fue increíble, nos recibieron con mucha ilusión y motivación; estoy muy feliz por ello, y confío en el potencial de todos esos niños y niñas.
