“The first time I heard of Lifting Hands was in the Social Shot of 2013, where Diana, the founder, talked a little about how the foundation was born and the work they do; Since that day I wanted to be part of this beautiful job, however, it wasn't until 2016 that I started volunteering.
I have been in this foundation for almost 4 years, I have taught English, tutoring and even cooking. I love to come and contribute my grain of sand. It is very difficult to separate from the love so great that one takes children, the work that is done and obviously Lifting Hands.
I have learned a lot in these years, that is where you realize that you are reciprocal, we as volunteers not only teach the children, but also learn from them.
Personally, this experience has taught me about empathy, to be more sensitive, to be grateful, to value what I have and who I have around me, not to take things for granted and to commit myself to the people and activities that are really worth the Grief and Lifting Hands is worth it.
I am very grateful for having given me the opportunity to volunteer and I hope they will be many more years! ”
