My experience in Quilotoa was incredible. I had the opportunity to teach English at the community school. I shared quality time with the children and the community members. By the way, the host is a good person to all the volunteers. I felt at home.

It was a special week for the volunteering, I was supposed to work 1h everyday with kids, teaching them English, but it was Easter so school opened only 2 days. Beside, I was doing the dishes in the kitchen of a restaurant for 3h a day, not what I prefer. Accommodations and meals were really good ! And Ronald the owner is full of traveling stories ☺️

Mi experiencia en the host fue muy grata, tanto que me termine quedando una semana más de lo planeado, desde el inicio me sentí como en casa y me encantó conocer un poco sobre el estilo de vida de la comunidad, además, Quilotoa es un lugar hermoso con muchas actividades que hacer. Con relación al voluntariado las tareas siempre fueron claras, se respetaron los horarios y el lugar acondicionado a los voluntarios era muy cómodo, así que muy recomendado....

El voluntariado en la familia de Don Manuel se realizó según lo pactado, el paisaje, la gastronomía y la tranquilidad compensa todo lo demás.

Tuve una mala experiencia (no con la comunidad) con el anfitrión, quien me dijo que yo no podía tomar decisiones sin el, y que prácticamente yo le pertenecía a quilotoa, también hablo terriblemente mal de las compañeras que anteriormente hicieron su voluntariado, diciendo que eran unas ofrecidas y hablando de su físico, me mandó a otro lugar y luego que acordamos quedarnos yo terminaría ahí mi voluntariado, llamo amenazando diciéndome que si yo estaba ahí las personas que me recibieron tendrían problemas, y que yo no podía hacer nada, también dijo que me pondría mala calificación si no volvía.
