Estupendo, ayudamos con las tareas de la familia y conocemos un poco de la cultura guatemalteca. Recomiendo mucho que hagan este voluntariado si les gusta un ambiente tranquilo de pueblo y sumergirse en la cultura local 😄

Éstos días con la casa han sido muy tranquilos y me encantó poder ayudar tanto en el negocio familiar cómo en tareas del hogar, si vuelvo a Cubulco no dudaré en volver.

Me encantó hacer voluntariado con la casa. Mayra, sus hijos, Don Cruz y Doña Ventura nos recibieron con muchísimo cariño, a mí y a mi hijo, abriendo su hogar y corazón para hacernos sentir parte de su familia desde el primer instante. Cada momento compartido, especialmente las caminatas con Doña Ventura, fueron como un abrazo cálido para el alma. Esta experiencia no solo enriqueció mi viaje, sino también mi vida. ¡Gracias por tanta generosidad, amor y enseñanzas que siempre llevaré conmigo!

Mi experiencia fue maravillosa, Mayra y su familia son personas muy amables, te ayudan a conectar con la comunidad y los paisajes de Cubulco. Tuve la oportunidad de estar durante las fiestas del pueblo y es una experiencia cultural única. Ayudar a Mayra con su emprendimiento fue genial, ya que aprendí una actividad nueva, con los mejores consejos. Es un voluntariado que recomiendo si quieres tener una conexión más cultural. Muchas gracias por todo, me llevo nuevas recetas, nuevo conocimiento y muy gratos momentos.
