My stay as a volunteer at the Community School was a deeply enriching experience. The children are truly adorable, incredibly warm, and affectionate—interacting with them every day was definitely the highlight of my time there.

The project initiated by Cynthia and supported by the volunteer teachers is truly commendable and vital for the local … read more community, providing genuine educational opportunities for students who need them most. It is inspiring to see how the project is growing over time. They have a fantastic vegetable garden and fruit trees, which are deeply cared for as the school works towards self-sustainability through their produce. During my stay, I also worked on raising awareness about environmental safety, particularly on the importance of not burning plastic. Since I have the privilege of working at an Italian agricultural technical institute, I hope and expect that we will continue to collaborate in the future to help improve and support their agricultural production.

The accommodation provided for volunteers is very comfortable, peaceful, and clean, equipped with a mosquito net and nice wooden benches. No troublesome animals around, just 2 lovely dogs and many chickens. Cooking together over the open hearth alongside the local children from the village was a memorable and warm experience. As a practical tip for future volunteers, I recommend buying groceries before arriving at the school, as there are no supermarkets nearby.

The local community is very kind and welcoming. Communication with Cynthia was prompt and helpful whenever needed. Communication with the teaching staff was a bit less frequent at times; as a small constructive suggestion for the future, a slightly tighter coordination between teachers and volunteers could help optimize the daily routine even further. Regarding the volunteer fee, there was a minor misunderstanding due to a discrepancy on the website, but Cynthia and the team were completely understanding and graciously accepted the contribution as initially expected.

The school is surprisingly well-equipped with good Wi-Fi access. I was glad to be able to donate a laptop to the school and sincerely hope it will be a useful tool for both teachers and students.

I highly recommend supporting and volunteering with the Community School to anyone looking for an authentic, meaningful experience that makes a real difference!
