My volunteering experience on the island was unforgettable. The most special part was spending time with the children during lessons. Their curiosity and eagerness to learn inspired me daily. Every smile and story made this experience unique. I'm grateful to Amandis, the school supervisor, whose passion for education was truly inspiring. Thanks also to Ali, my supervisor, for his constant support. Lastly, a big thank you to the staff at the hostel, especially Jess and Rebecca, and the island's residents for their kindness, warmth, & generosity. I'll definitely return to this paradise!

Let me tell you something from the heart: this was the craziest, most challenging, incredible, and beautiful volunteer experience I could have ever done in my life. If you're passionate about education and social transformation, this is the perfect place. I enjoyed it and faced many challenges very different from what I'm used to in a traditional school, which made it even more beautiful. A special mention goes to Ali. I can assure you, you'll never meet someone as warm, kind, and passionate about education and social work as he is. He was my mentor and now my friend. Hope to see soon buddy!
