GLOT Community Testimonials
Caminando por las calles de la comuna 7 en Medellín, me doy cuenta de la diferencia entre este barrio y otros de la ciudad. Además, mi vida en Bélgica es muy diferente. Esto es lo interesante de viajar y hacer voluntariado: nos solo los niños aprenden mucho, yo como voluntaria aprendo demasiado.
¡No podemos agradecer lo suficiente a Diana y GLOT por permitirnos la oportunidad de retribuir a la comunidad de Medellín! Durante nuestro micro voluntariado, pudimos ver de primera mano el impacto que GLOT esta teniendo en las comunidades menos favorecidas con niños y adultos. A través de la enseñanza del lenguaje y la comunicación, inspiran a estas comunidades a desarrollar su potencial.
La oportunidad de visitar la comunidad, comprender mejor sus desafíos y necesidades e interactuar con los niños fue una experiencia muy satisfactoria. El concepto de crecimiento y cambio a través del amor por los idiomas es muy poderoso.
