The experience at the project was really nice. You can see that Emilio is really interested in environmental topics, and he has a lot of ideas. He is very sociable and open-minded. I learned interesting facts about the invasive lionfish, the creation of jewelery and plastic pollution in Bocas del Toro. We brainstormed about general ideas and my task was to create design sketches for the website of the project. I could manage my own working hours. The accommodation is very basic and rustic, but there is plenty to do and see, and you can explore Bocas by bike.

The work was very flexible, interesting and fun (especially if you love some creativity: making jewellery from the fins of the lion fish which is an invasive species), leaving a lot of time to explore the rest of Bocas! Emilio is a great host who will always help you if you need anything! I would highly recommend:))

I loved my experience here, Emilio is a great host and just having two other volunteers meant we formed a close community :) it was an amazing way to learn more about the islands and projects, get to contribute something valuable and gain varied skills and experiences. While I was there we did a beach clean up on another island and a school workshop, as well as making and selling jewellery, which I really enjoyed! The space is basic but comfortable and became a home away from home, cooking and sharing meals together. Having bikes to go around the island on was also great!

Most of all I just enjoyed getting to know and hang out with Emilio. He is such a lovely person, chill, flexible and funny. He built this ngo and has such a big caring for the environment which was very inspiring to see. The work is very interesting and fun as well. I learned many new things, did not know about the lionfish crisis before and I was happy to gain some skills on making jewellery:D The work is quite chill and easy to manage and Emilio makes sure that you just work your three/four hours. Sometimes, communication on the times could be better but all in all its all super relaxed.

I had a good experience at the project with Emilio and the other volunteers. The communication could have been better sometimes but other than that the work is fine and there is plenty of time to visit the islands. It can be a great opportunity.

I am so grateful I had the chance to volunteer here at the project! It's such a unique volunteering position and I got to learn a lot about sustainability and how they directly handle problems here in Bocas. Emilio is super welcoming and the work is a lot of fun! We mostly helped to clean the space, make jewelry, and sell jewelry at street stands, so if you're into crafting, you would love this. You also have lots of free time to explore the islands! Such a cool initiative, I reccomend to everyone !!

My experience here was great. Emilio is a super fun guy that really cares about making a difference, he also is happy to show you some beautiful parts of the islands for snorkelling and relaxing! The project is really cool and the work is easy and fun, he shows you what needs to be done and gives you a lot of freedom to plan your days. It's also a very central location. I would definitely recommend this place! Gracias por todos Emilio!!

I loved my stay at the project. Emilio is a very welcoming host, and I enjoyed working and living with him. The work hours are super flexible, and there's always something new to do. What I enjoyed most was the project itself—I learned a lot about environmental impact, and making jewelry out of lionfish was really fun for me. The accommodation in the garage is simple, but you don't need much more. Although personal space is a bit limited, Emilio made up for it by taking us around the island and organizing beach cleanups, which I really enjoyed. I'd highly recommend & would love to come back :)

I had a great experience volunteering here! The work can be varied each day and Emilio is willing to be flexible to ensure you are getting what you want out of the experience with collaboration. There is also plenty of time to explore alone, with other volunteers, and with Emilio. I learned a lot through talking with him and other volunteers plus having the opportunity to be on site at another project in the area through Engineers without Borders.
