AMAIZING!! It was one of the most significant experiences I had in my life, I felt very comfortable and received with a lot of love, it was not what I expected, it was much more than that... learning about the culture, the fotos, the music, the language, and conecting with the family, most of all with the kids. you will not regret going, and they need you as you need them, if you have any questions, talk to me on Instagram @juli_urpi. I recommend it 100% Go for it!
