Kalu Yala

May - July 2018 • San Miguelito District, Panama City

What I liked

I loved the variety of teaching in the school with the kids for half the week and then helping build a sustainable town in the jungle on the weekends.

What I wish was different

I wish there would have been a bit more structure. The whole experience was all about self-inciative.

Advice

Build relationships with the locals. Don't be afraid to talk to them, and don't e afraid to take up an inviation if they invite you over.
