Consipe School for disabled children - Bolivia

100%

Overall Rating

I worked at the school Consipe in Cochabamba everyday 8:30 while 12:00 (you can work the afternoons if you wish but I was teaching English). The school was fantastic and the Director is lovely, I had the most amazing time. Our host family were so welcoming and supportive. Kaya were good at organising everything, however, we could have recieved more support from our volunteer co-ordinator based in Bolivia.
