PURPOSE TRAVELERS EXPERIENCES

The principle is that you prepare the classes and teach to the kids during the week, and then you have three days to travel and to explore Panama. Now that my experience has come to an end, the only thing I want, is to see the kids again, they were so appealing and friendly with us (the volunteers).

I recommend this experience for the retirees/seniors that still feel young and still want to work with children and help the society. Definitely I will go again next year, this time for three weeks. Thank you TeachPTY for giving me this opportunity.

Georgie Young, 60 years old, Dutch-Panamanian

If you’re looking for a cross-cultural and sharing experience, TeachPTY is definitely for you! What I love is the way you can mix trips and improvements of the local community by teaching. Help develop the future of the kids is priceless and their joy will fill your heart!

Rhenaud, 21 years old, French

I think, I did the most amazing volunteering program !! It’s a new one, so everything is like if you are family. Jose (the boss) is perfect, he is all the time there for you, if you want to book something, to organize your trip, etc… And there is a very good atmosphere in the house, like when you leave, you want to come back soon !!
