Gracias gracias Gorgolaoooo... Fue mi primer experiencia como voluntario y no podría ser mejor, fue súper enriquecedor y de mucho aprendizaje, la estadía y la comida fueron geniales, los anfitriones ( Fede, Jas y Greta) fueron super amables y parientes en todo momento. Trabajamos, entrenamos, paseamos, nadamos. Gracias por todo, super recomendado.
