Elisabeth, a volunteer from Denmark, gives an overwiew of her volunteer experience:
I
worked as a volunteer at Proyecto Horizonte for a month, and it was
probably one of the best months of my life so far. My main task was
helping looking after the youngest children in La sala maternal. I
really enjoyed being with the children and I had the nicest colleagues
who were amazing around the children. They always had so many fun
different activities planned.
In the afternoons I took Spanish
lessons, explored Cochabamba with the other volunteers or helped the
organization with different tasks. When I was there, Proyecto Horizonte
had their 10 year anniversary, so all of us volunteers helped painting
banners and preparing other stuff for the event. The anniversary in
itself was an amazing experience! Cochabamba is also a really great city
to live in. There's a lot to do and the weather is always nice! There
are a lot of national parks and cities to visit like Salar Uyuni, La Paz
and Potosi.
Proyecto Horizonte is a non-profit organization located in the community of Ushpa-Ushpa in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The project was founded in 2004 with the mission of fighting poverty and improving human development. Since its establishment Proyecto Horizonte has grown to include a nursery, a school, a health center, microenterprise initiatives, a women's support group, and more. This blog is dedicated to past and current volunteers with the project.
