We had a great time during our stay with Emilio. We learned about the lionfish, an invasive species in bocas, and we made jewelry out of its fins. There were a few other tasks that were easy and the working hours were fair and quite flexible! You sleep in a warehouse next to the airport, but you could always take the bike to bocas town, which was like a 3 minute ride :)

We really enjoyed our time volunteering at the project! Making jewelry and learning about different sustainable projects was fun and meaningful. You get the opportunity of living on a carribean island in exchange for really fair work hours and tasks. Emilio is a great host and very passionate about his project. As long as you stick to house rules, the energy is nice and welcoming. We would for sure recommend this project!

I learned a lot about recycling and the problems that the lionfish causes in this part of the ocean. The work was very variable and fun. You learn about jewelry making and get to explore the islands because you have a lot of free time. You can spend the day at the beach or go take a walk through the islands. The location is a bit further away from the city center but you can reach it easily and fast by bike.

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 !!
