Review

Maximo Nivel was incredibly flexible and kind during my volunteer service. They provided very safe homestay housing available for both myself and my travel partner. We had the opportunity to work with an elderly care facility that was understaffed. The nurses there did an incredible job with day to day feeding and activities of daily living, but they had no entertainment and seemed to be very sad and depressed. So, we had the opportunities to take them out on walks and have dance days and games to help them enjoy their days more. I don't know if it was a lasting change but our goal was to continue having the incoming volunteers help in the same way to keep them having a good time. It was a wonderful experience!
