The experience of the first live-in, held between January 10, 2025, and January 12, 2025, at St Augustine College in Pietà , served as the foundation for us, the six young volunteers who will be undertaking a volunteer experience in Iquitos, Peru.
This live-in, although spanning only three days, helped us get to know a bit about each other’s personalities, showcasing our talents and what each of us can offer during this volunteer experience. The most beautiful moments of this first live-in were when, in the garden, we gathered as a group along with the leaders who organized the activity and shared a timeline of the experiences we’ve been through in our lives—both the happy and the challenging ones—that shaped our character and made us who we are today.
Although the primary goal of this experience is to help the less fortunate, I believe that thanks to the live-in, our mission takes on a positive direction. While the help we provide might seem like just a drop in the ocean, the unity of our group as volunteers brings a ray of light to those less fortunate than us and reflects the impact we ca have in any way possible.
