Lo que una familia descubrió durante su viaje solidario a Perú
Lo que una familia descubrió durante su viaje solidario a Perú Los viajes solidarios para familias son mucho más que unas vacaciones diferentes. Son una oportunidad para convivir con otras comunidades, descubrir nuevas formas de entender el mundo y compartir una experiencia que deja huella en pequeños y mayores. Alberto, Hegoi y June lo vivieron durante varias semanas en Lamay, Perú, y esta es su historia. Hay viajes que empiezan mucho antes de subir a un avión. Empiezan cuando decides salir de la rutina. Cuando te preguntas si este verano
Ver India con otros ojos
Ver India con otros ojos Ella había viajado tres veces a India. Había recorrido sus templos, sus mercados y sus ciudades. Pero cuando volvió del viaje con Tumaini escribió: “La experiencia me hizo darme cuenta de que India es mucho más de lo que yo había visto. Siempre sorprende”. Tres viajes no habían sido suficientes. Fue en el cuarto, viajando de otra manera, cuando descubrió otra India. No era la primera vez que viajaba con Tumaini. Ya sabía lo que era entrar en un lugar así, desde dentro. Pero India era
Las personas que hacen de Kenia algo que no se olvida
Las personas que hacen de Kenia algo que no se olvida Cuando le pedimos a quienes viajan con nosotras a Kenia que nos cuenten qué recuerdan, esperamos que hablen del safari, de los elefantes en Tsavo, del snorkel en Watamu. Y lo hacen. Pero siempre, mezclado con todo eso, aparecen nombres propios. Personas concretas. Kenia te entra por los ojos, pero se te queda por su gente. Este artículo es sobre una de ellas. Mama Faith y el proyecto Imani Hay un barrio en Nairobi donde, desde hace décadas, una mujer a
Empowering women in India: A journey towards equality
Women Empowerment in India: A Journey to Equality India is a fascinating country that captivates with its rich culture, millennia-old history and exquisite cuisine. However, behind the beauty and charm of this country, hide the complex and challenging realities that women face in their search for equality and empowerment. Fortunately, there are organizations and projects that are doing amazing work. After several months of work, Tumaini has added a new women's empowerment project to her list.
Maria in India: "Varanasi has taught me to see the positive side of everything".
María Andrés is a social educator and last February she travelled to India to connect with a hitherto unknown culture. She wanted to take advantage of this trip to support the NGO with which we collaborate in Varanasi, where training and work is offered in a Fair Trade workshop to women from low castes and with few resources. Find out what her experience was like 😊 This is the first time you have volunteered internationally. Why did you decide to live an experience like this? Yes, I had never experienced anything like it before. I needed to get out of the
Andrea's 3-week experience in Kenya
They say that when you leave Kenya a little piece of you stays there, that a sense of sadness accompanies you leaving this place and that the smiles you see are etched on your retina for life. At the beginning, before the trip, you may be accompanied by fear and uncertainty about the unknown, as well as an unexpected accumulation of unknown emotions because we are going to a place with a totally different reality, with different experiences and with a way of seeing life that is very different from our own.
Educational solidarity trips: 8 keys to understanding them
What does it mean for children in a country in the South to have people from all over the world working with them? What do they learn from the volunteers? How do the farewells affect them?

Carlos and his experience at the escuelita in Chiapas
We share one of the first experiences in the little school in Chiapas with which we have started to collaborate this year. Carlos spent almost a month enjoying this marvellous area of Mexico: "The day-to-day life has been very calm. I, in particular, left the hostel at 9 a.m. and, accompanied by one or more other volunteers, took a minibus to the start of the climb up to the top of the mountain.
Paula's experience in Bali: "It's amazing how quickly you adapt to this way of life".
"It is difficult to express in words at the moment what this experience has meant to me: two girls from Zaragoza decided to spend a month away from home to discover a new culture. Although the first day of volunteering was a bit hard for us, it is surprising how quickly you manage to adapt to a way of life completely different from your own. One of the best things about this experience is sharing it with people from other parts of the world: we rely on each other.
Maria's experience in Valle Sagrado ecovillage (Peru): "In this centre children can see that another world is possible".
Maria has spent part of her summer in this centre located in an incredible environment, full of history, magic and very special places. She herself tells us about her experience in this project with which we collaborate and which is located in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Peru: "In the mornings we have breakfast from half past seven (not before we all greet each other with a kiss and a hug). Afterwards, everyone does a bit of what they feel like doing: being in the areas where they feel like it.
