I have so many amazing memories from my time with Voluntario Global. One highlight was the cooking workshops at CEPAN — it was a great way to learn about cultural diversity and community health through shared meals and conversation. I also really enjoyed getting involved in the arts and crafts and exercise classes at CAPS15, especially the basketball sessions, even if there were a few fouls along the way! And of course, I couldn’t forget making my infamous apple crumble — complete with the unexpected British twist of serving it with cream. I learned so much by being part of the day-to-day, and it was a real pleasure to spend time with the people behind the projects — everyone was so kind and welcoming. I hope everyone I worked with has had a great start to the year, and I’d love to come back one day. Happy 19th anniversary, and thank you for the memories!

Entre los mejores momentos diría que está: conectar con la comunidad enabrigar derechos, terminar el libro (el día de la entrega) de las mil y unanoches, las conexiones de por vida que he creado en Milpa y sobretodo todas loque puede aprender de la dignidad, la memoria y la valentía. Un mensaje para el taller de radio, el equipo de investigacion y los trabajos desalud mental en los colegios (y milpa): Gracias por dejarme entrar en vuestro mundo sin prejuicios y darme tanto en tan poco tiempo. Creo que nunca podré pagar esa deuda. Os llevo siempre.Voluntario Global no es una ONG cualquiera ni para cualquiera. Es una oportunidad única en la vida para esas personas curiosas o que sienten que pueden dar un paso más allá. Para mi, Voluntario Global es una familia, unasegunda casa repleta de personas que te atienden con los brazos abiertos. Siestas pensando aportar un granito de arena o simplemente aprender, no lodudes. Es sin duda el equipo mejor formado, más atento y con más amorposible. No podría valor Voluntario Global más y no dudaría ni una fracción de un segundo en recomendarlo; súmate.

Meeting with all the strong amazing women in the Soup Kitchen has to be a highlight for me. Being able to photograph their work and strengths through Voluntario Global was an incredible experience.
I miss them all lots and would love to visit again one day. ❤️

A favorite memory of mine was my first day shooting photos at the Milpa site. I got to meet a range of very interesting people and experience the work that goes into fresh produce from behind the scenes. We
I ended the day with a lovely picnic and a conversation where I enjoyed hearing people’s stories that were so different from my own.
