I arrived in Pereira, Colombia, on 1 August to start volunteering with the Nukanti Foundation. My job is to enhance the quality of English education in a public school in the Risaralda department of Colombia, the heart of Coffee Country. I will aid the English teachers in improving their own English to better serve their students, and provide a cultural exchange for the students in the school. I’m really looking forward to getting started!
Sightseeing is limited in Pereira, but it’s still a pleasant city that’s part of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia.
Basics on Pereira, the biggest city in Colombia’s Coffee Region. It’s known mostly for its great food and nightlife and as a base for nearby natural attractions.
