Volunteering Solutions

When I decided to come to Cusco, Peru, my expectations were very low in terms of the city, its environment and its people because it is not a place that according to what I found in google was very developed, that's why when I arrived and started Living the experience I realized that I was TOTALLY WRONG. From the second day, when I went with Kelly to the city tour, I realized that I was in a dream place, full of colors, kind people, affordable economy and above all history. I started spending days with Mama Edidth and I realized that this place had become my second home, the attention, the permanent assistance of her at all times made me feel at home ... the taste of their food is inexplicable, His human warmth is incredible and his way of treating people made me feel happy in Cusco. In the school where I was, I met many children of different personalities, stories and characteristics, but each of them left me a teaching, I leave a memory and a photograph full of love. Each one of the people that made part of this trip made me feel at home, made me understand a different but incredible reality, it made me feel that what I came to do was very worthwhile and above all they helped me to grow as a person and as woman. THANKS to everyone for making this trip the best of my life. I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON It made me understand a different but incredible reality, it made me feel that what I came to do was very worthwhile and above all they helped me to grow as a person and as a woman.

Original review:
Cuando decidí venir a Cusco, perú, mis expectativas eran muy bajas en cuanto a la ciudad, a su ambiente y sus personas debido a que no es un lugar que según lo que encontré en google fuera muy desarrollado, por eso cuando llegue y empecé a vivir la experiencia me di cuenta que estaba TOTALMENTE EQUIVOCADA. A partir del segundo día, cuando fui con Kelly a dar el tour por la ciudad me di cuenta que estaba en un lugar de sueño, lleno de colores, de personas amables, de economía accesible y sobretodo de historia. Empecé a pasar días con Mamá Edidth y me di cuenta que este lugar de había convertido en mi segundo hogar, la atención, la permanente asistencia de ella en todo momento me hizo sentir como en casa... el sabor de su comida es inexplicable , su calor humano es increíble y su manera de tratar a las personas me hizo sentir feliz en Cusco. En la escuela donde estuve conocí muchos niños de diferentes personalidades, historias y características, pero cada uno de ellos me dejó una enseñanza, me dejo un recuerdo y una fotografía llena de amor. Cada una de las personas que hizo parte de este viaje me hizo sentir como en casa, me hizo entender una realidad diferente pero increíble, me hizo sentir que lo que vine a hacer valió muchísimo la pena y sobretodo me ayudaron a crecer como persona y como mujer. GRACIAS a todos por hacer de este viaje el mejor de mi vida. ESPERO VERLOS PRONTO

Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Rio and am very glad I decided to give this experience a chance. Evie and Reuben were both amazing people to work with, as well as the temporary volunteers that worked during my time. Everyone was super welcoming and gave a positive energy that made my experience that much more enjoyable. The projects themselves were organized very well and I especially liked the schedule of working 4 days a week. It was the perfect balance of allowing me to be a tourist and a volunteer at the same time. I am also glad I got to stay in a location that was close to so many of the cities attractions.

In the end I am extremely grateful to have had this experience and to everyone that helped make it happen. I hope to come back soon and see all the progress Community in Action has made since I left!

Volunteered for 2 weeks (Too short) in Ho Chi Minh City and experienced the best time of my life. Had unforgettable experiences and made memorable life long friends. The food was great, culture was great, felt safe at all times, easy to navigate around the city. Accommodation and food was catered for with no complaints at all.
Felt like home and would highly recommend to anyone. The locals were super nice and willing to help out.
Truly blessed for the opportunity and would certainly do it again.

This is my first time experience with volunteering solutions and the experience was fantastic! The kids are all so cute and passionate, the kindergarten teacher really has so much to offer! I really admire her strength and courage!

The only thing I regret is not to learn more Spanish before I came, otherwise I would be able to communicate with the children more :). Highly recommend people to do so before coming

Translation:
From the first moment I felt very good in the family and in the project. The people here are very welcoming and open. In the family they treated me as one more member. I also liked the work in the garden, the children were very affectionate. In the afternoon and on weekends there was still time to travel. I can really recommend this volunteering to combine a social work with knowing another culture! With Volsol, everything is very well organized. In total it was a unique experience that will please every person who is interested in knowing the life of another country!

Desde el primer momento me sentí muy bien en la familia y en el proyecto. La gente aquí es muy acogedora y abierta. En la familia me trataron como un miembro más. También me gustó mucho el trabajo en el jardín, los niños eran muy cariñosos. Por la tarde y los fines de semana aún quedaba tiempo para viajar. Realmente puedo recomendar este voluntariado para combinar un trabajo social con conocer otra cultura! Con Volsol además todo está muy bien organizado. En total era una experiencia única que le va a gustar a cada persona que esté interesada en conocer la vida de otro país!
