January 16, 2019by: Isabela Nizzola - BrazilProgram: IVHQ Volunteer Programs in Colombia
I spend 2 weeks in Cartagena and I was able to participate in different programs. Most of them, teaching English to children's. But they also have programs with elder care, cancer victims that need a moment of joy and kindergarten assistance. It was a immersive experience and we could connect with the communities and get to know the people who live there. For me, this was the top 1 reason why I loved this experience. The children's were kind and respectful, eager to learn. So the teaching was natural and easy. I felt home in our volunteer house. We had dinner together every day and spend weekends travelling together as well. I felt welcome by the city and by all the Colombians I met.

The volunteer trip I took to Bogota, Colombia was unforgettable. The coordinators there were always making sure you felt at home and provided you with anything you may have needed. The programs they had were under Emerging Voices. They have been making a difference with the people they helped everyday. The boys at Mama Yolanda love having company from the volunteers. All the experiences I had were eye opening. I would recommend this program to others.
Colombia is the perfect place to volunteer!

I had an absolutely amazing experience volunteering in Colombia through IVHQ! The staff was professional, helpful and available to help with anything you needed. The local staff in Colombia was also amazing and made the volunteer and travel experience even better! I would highly recommend a volunteer vacation and would absolutely recommend using IVHQ!
Hi Joel, Thanks so much for your recommendation - we really appreciate it. It is awesome to hear that you had such an amazing experience in Colombia and found the support professional and helpful. We would love to have you join another IVHQ program in the future.
