The experience was good. It was great that there were so many of us and we could organize everything a little. He has a good heart and does the best with what he has.

Ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora, sobre todo por la gente que he conocido de tantos países. Formamos un grupo increíble y me sentí muy a gusto, fue lo mejor de este voluntariado. Hay cosas a mejorar, como la comodidad del hostel, la puntualidad en algunas tareas y la seguridad. Esto ya se ha comentado con el anfitrión y confío en que se mejore. Los tours que ofrece el hostel están muy bien de precio, pero no son gratuitos por ser voluntario. Valoro la labor y la buena intención del proyecto, los niños son increíbles y el país también, recomendable pero con aspectos a mejorar!

Ha sido una muy linda experiencia, el hostel se sintió como un hogar, conocí gente muy linda de todas partes del mundo y la comida brindada por el hostel fue buena. Raphael proporcionó un muy lindo ambiente de bienvenida para todos y se nota que tiene buenas intenciones para sacar adelante el colegio. Cosas que mejoraría: dejar en claro desde un principio la disponibilidad de las instalaciones y los servicios del lugar, ejemplos: la disponibilidad de agua caliente, si hay llaves para todas las personas que esten en el hotel, si hay heladera para refrigerar alimentos disponibles, etc.
