We had a wonderful week in Huancayo. We stayed in the family house. During the week, we went to the school independently and arranged our schedule together with our assigned teachers (English - Julie - and PE - Patty and Vladimir). We ended up combining between the two classes, which meant we had full days, from 8am to 3:30pm, and had lunch at the school with the teachers (menu for 7 soles). The contact with the kids was amazing, the teachers really gave us an important role to talk to the kids, answer all their questions, which made them so happy! It was truly an enriching experience!

What a beautiful experience! The host family was always available and incredibly hospitable. Huancayo is a small city, which means it's safer and cheaper, but that also means there's not a ton to do. However, the program organizer kindly gave us some opportunities to immerse ourselves in the local culture. School was a lot of fun. You do teach in class, but you also get plenty of opportunities to meet other kids and staff during your breaks. Overall, everyone I met in Huancayo was friendly, and I had an incredible time.

Gaby, Caro, Rosa, Carlos, and Vero were so helpful and kind! They gave me tours and info about the city, amazing meals, and Spanish lessons. I taught English/music at 2 schools, a small elementary and a large high school. With the kids, i sang songs like “head shoulders knees and toes” with guitar, and sang Beatles songs with the teens! For Mother's Day, there are HUGE city-wide + school festivities! I watched the high schoolers perform traditional Andean dances with elaborate costumes and masks! I also made many friends in just two weeks, because everyone is so nice! Thanks again+miss u all!

This was my first time traveling outside of the U.S. and I immediately felt welcomed by Su & Vero as they hugged me when I arrived at the airport and offered to carry some of my items. Since my stay was short, they wanted me to have a fulfilling experience not just with the organization but with exploring the city to learn more about the culture and people, so they recommended different things for me to try. All in all, I am super grateful for my experience and all the people I have met especially the children, volunteers (Rosario & Lisa), CiCi, Carmen, Su & Vero💜 Thank you all for having me 🫶🏾
