I had a good time in Colombia overall. The teaching was excellent and the Wi-Fi was strong. The only downside was that things felt a little disorganized at times, and I was scolded for very small things. I also didn't feel I had much cultural immersion coming from the USA, but overall it was still a positive experience.

Fernando and his teachers are very nice and friendly. All of the students are very nice and well behaved. Fernando's grandmother is also very sweet. I also enjoyed Acacías and making friends there. My biggest issue is a lack of communication and respect for volunteers' time while they are guests here. Fernando will not tell you anything until the day before or last minute. I don't think that's fair us. He has done it to all the volunteers. He also has a thing about foreigners slamming doors, which felt a bit odd. I think he's sensitive about his new car so please respect his door policy.

We had the opportunity to meet Harry, it was a good experience overall.
the attitude was 7.0/10. since he had bad moment with one of the teachers because he didn't prepare anything for the class even when he was told at first, during the online meeting that volunteers prepare lessons, his attitude was rude and he louded his voice with the teacher saying " Do I have to teach to them?", and communication it is because of the misunderstood info about an out class. the attitude was neutral.
