I was surprised by how open, interested and friendly all of the children were to any new person that came to the orphanage.

I spent most of my days at the orphanage either helping serve dinner to the children and playing with them, or helping paint the walls of a room that had been damaged in a fire. With the help of other volunteers we decorated the rooms with murals of the children’s favourite Disney characters.

My time in Argentina volunteering felt like anything but work. I spent most of my days working with young children in an orphanage and spent other days with individuals of all ages who had mental disabilities.

Since graduating college, I had wanted to improve my Spanish speaking skills and thought that the most beneficial way to do it would be to immerse myself in a Spanish speaking country. What I gained was much more than fluency in the language.

Hello, my name is Anton Streicher, I'm 24 years old, and I made my social project in Jesús María, Argentina, in the children home "Hogar el Principito".

I only can recommend this project to other volunteers, it’s a great experience. I hope my information will help you a little bit and I hope you can understand my English.
