Review

I stayed in Quepos with the loveliest hostmom called Noemy. We got along very well and she was always happy to help with anything. Sometimes we just spent the nights together to go walking around in Quepos, I really liked it, as my spanish was not the best and practicing makes it perfect. And addition to all the good things, she was an excellent cook and the house was always clean.
The project I attended was called working with the kids. My job was to teach them english for one hour and then we just played together. The kids were so sweet, and would come every day running to hug you. And even though sometimes it was hard to make them listen to you, I left the place every day with a bigger smile on my face. First I was a little bit afraid to raise my voice on them as I really wanted to get along with them. But after doing it a few times, I understood that that is how you earn the respect of the kids. So do not be afraid to raise your voice sometimes, the kids still love you and are super happy that you are investing your time into them.
The local staff was super friendly as well and there for me all the time. Fortunately I did not have any big problems, but if I would have had, I would not have been afraid to ask their help.
All in all, a great experience for everyone, who wants to attend an eye opening project and meet the happiest kids!
