TESTIMONIAL

It is really great I am enjoying my time here a lot. The pick-up did work out perfectly, and I love the residence here, the rooms are really nice, everything is so clean and the big kitchen is great!

Today I met with Marianne to go the project and it was really good, she explained me everything I needed to know and we visited the program together. This week there is not much to do but form next week on I will start every day at ten. The people there seemed really nice and Marianne helped a lot!

Thank you so much for all you help and I will keep you updated.

The airport pickup is perfect.

The family is very good. I am sharing the house with another volunteer and we are fine and well looked after and do not have any complaints.

And the project: I love it! I am in a nursing home and the truth is that they need a lot of help! They are helping me a lot to appreciate what we have in Europe (related to health) and I support them with all of my knowledge and affection.

Separately, almost all of my colleagues are German and I am improving my English, which is great... I think it is going to be a very good experience!

I spent five weeks working as a football coach and volunteer after applying through Volunteer Work Latin America. I spoke only a few words of Spanish beforehand, but with the help of local team I was still able to make a difference to some amazing children right from the start, whilst picking up my Spanish to conversational level along the way. VLA had already found me some long term, cheap accommodation in Centro Medellin with three meals a day provided! If you want, VLA will also help you arrange Spanish lessons - something I would strongly recommend doing if your Spanish is only basic.
