Volunteers create interactive learning experiences and provide children with a loving and creative environment.

I have always loved traveling since my family traveled a lot while I was growing up. It really opened my eyes to the beauty of the different people and places in this world. I believe it also gives you more empathy and compassion for others, you realize we are all one. No matter where we live or what we look like, everyone has the same blood and basic needs. There is so much love in everyone, everywhere! Going abroad to volunteer and live in a really high needs community has been something I have always wanted to do since I was a kid. It was fulfilling a dream to be able to do it.

I was going through a difficult moment in my life in which I had to define who I was, so I decided to take a year off and travel to give me time and space to think. Volunteering had always been something on my mind, because I feel I've had so many opportunities in life that it would be wrong not to try and give some back. It seemed like the perfect moment to do it.
