I usually leave reviews right after I've left the place I've volunteered for. This time it's taken me a bit longer, not because of laziness or lack of time. Just wanted it to settle down and see it from a bit of a distance...

What a gem we found in Maria. Thank you, thank you, Maria, for your efficiency and work ethic. You really made our workload feel effortless.
I certainly hope our paths cross again in the near future. For sure we'll go for a hike over the mountain in Leon. May your spirit take you to faraway lands. Abrazos y mucha suerte. Judy...and JC

I had great time at the school and felt welcomed by everyone: it seemed like a big family. The building is modern, very child friendly with plenty of colourful posters; I found the teaching style pretty high tec. Food at the canteen is superb.
