"It is something we have been looking forward to having this very personal meeting with the communities. An immense effort has been made to get us back on our feet. These activities are part of the commitment we have with the country, and they are part of the integral formation that each of you have. Let us never forget that we are always ambassadors and representatives of the university where we are".
"We are excited because we will resume winter work. In 2019 the last ones were done and we are looking forward to being able to see families and construction again. We had some summer work, but we're back to the winter tradition. There are many challenges ahead and we are happy to leave."
"The needs of the people we wanted to help did not disappear. We quickly realized a reality that we already knew, and that is that our usual model for working was not applicable. We were faced with a big dilemma: how to help someone we couldn't visit. Keeping volunteering alive was achieved, despite all the challenges."
