I volunteered in Martos and Málaga with Ghizlan and Ali, respectively, and both experiences were great! I spent more time in Martos, where Ghizlan made my stay amazing—she was super kind, patient, and a great companion. Gracias por todo Ghizlan!!! ❤ In Málaga, I didn't spend much time with Ali, but he was very pleasant, respectful, and kind. Hector, the project owner, was always attentive whenever needed. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was excellent! I highly recommend this experience and truly appreciate everything! :)

I really enjoyed the 5 weeks at the residence. The colleagues are very nice and it was fun talking to the erasmus students. The location is super close to the centre, making it very easy to explore Malaga! When I first joined everything seemed a bit chaotic since stuff members were fired. I felt like a few tasks could have been explained better to me. But now with the new cook everything is much more organised and well maintained! One thing they did not tell me before joining is that they have cockroaches. It was a very cool experience tho and I had so much fun exploring Malaga! Thanks a lot!

We want to thank you for your willingness to participate in this volunteering experience. We deeply value the time and effort people dedicate to contributing to the well-being of others. However, we feel it's important to address a few areas where there is room for improvement.

In this instance, the expected responsibilities of the role were not fully met, as some key tasks remained uncompleted, which impacted the progress of activities. Additionally, we noticed that a lack of attention to hygiene—both personal and within the workspace—led to unforeseen issues, such as the appearance of pests, which affected the environment and other participants.

We believe this feedback can be valuable for future opportunities, and we’re confident that with more attention to these details, you could have a more positive impact on similar projects. Once again, we appreciate your involvement and wish you the very best in your future endeavors. 🌟

Mi voluntariado en este lugar fue una experiencia muy positiva. Agradezco especialmente a Ali, el encargado, por su excelente liderazgo y por enseñarme tantas cosas durante mi tiempo aquí. Su guía hizo que mi aprendizaje fuera significativo y enriquecedor. El lugar es limpio y agradable, y el personal administrativo siempre mostró amabilidad y disposición para ayudar Quiero destacar el trato del dueño, el señor Héctor, quien fue extremadamente cordial y amable. Lo felicito por el enfoque de trabajo que tiene, ya que me parece excelente. Gracias por todo.

Estoy profundamente agradecido por la oportunidad de aprender nuevas labores y expandir mis horizontes. Fátima nos trató como si fuéramos parte de su familia. La ubicación del alojamiento, en el corazón del Albaycín, es idílica. Granada es una ciudad mágica con una historia fascinante y vistas impresionantes. Héctor, nuestro anfitrión, siempre fue cordial y atento. Además, tuvimos la oportunidad de practicar idiomas y mejorar nuestras habilidades lingüísticas, lo que enriqueció aún más esta experiencia. Mi primera experiencia como voluntario y será inolvidable. :) 💖✨
