The Experience

Esta é uma casa de Ana no meio do mato, sempre cheia de coisas para fazer. Valorizamos a flexibilidade,a limpeza,o amor e a paz, senso de humor, a arte, a proatividade, a natureza. Dou prioridade à procura de voluntários que já tenham experiência em trabalhar com as mãos, especialmente se você tiver experiência com agrofloresta e construção. A casa fica a 20 km de Paraty e a 2 km do Patrimônio. Há ônibus, enviarei os horários após a confirmação.

In the beginning it was alright and we helped out with planning trees a little but all of the other work was just cleaning her house and the outside floor which felt very off. the communication was bad and the host was border crossing. there was delicious fruit and some vegetables and we got some lunch but it didn't really feel comfortable to eat as the host told us how to and made us deep clean the whole kitchen by ourselves after - while she was sitting with her feet in ice water which she told us to provide for her. it felt like dirty work and not what we agreed on unfortunately

The host made me extremely uncomfortable, telling me how to use the toilet by leading me into the restroom and providing an example. Taking my fork out of my hand while eating. She made uncomfortable jokes often. Smacked my girlfriend ass and legs. Whole place was extremely unsanitary and unpleasant. Upsides decent WiFi and beautiful river. I think she had good intentions but delivered as wrong as possible. She asked of me to pour water on her legs while she was not well clothed. Food was unclean. Work was unorganized and not what we signed up for. Overall 0/10

Fue una linda experiencia, me sentí en casa. Trabajamos desmalezando, plantando, abriendo caminos en medio de la mata y trabajamos con cerámica. Fué muy agradable compartir el día a día con Ana. En ocasiones quedaba con dudas sobre el trabajo pero había que soltar el control. Janis y y las tres gatitas son un amor, siempre nos acompañaban en la casa o en el río. Ana cocina exquisito, y encuentras arte en cada espacio de la casa, era inspirador. Fué enriquecedor aprender de la floresta pesé al poco tiempo que estuvimos. Ana es muy sabia

El voluntariado en casa de Ana (y de Janis y gatitas) fue una gran experiencia de vida pese al poco tiempo. Me sentí como en casa y disfrute del rio, compartir, reír, conversar con ana y voluntarias con las que se armó un buen ambiente de amistad. Linda estadía en la mata, aprendiendo de plantas, probando alimentos nuevos, contemplando la lluvia y muchas otras cosas que hicieron que fuera una linda estadía. El trabajo es variado: desde desmalezar, cosechar frutas y también nos enseñó trabajar con cerámica.La casa tiene muchos detalles artísticos y el espacio para voluntarios es muy cómodo.

Não tenho palavras para descrever meus dias no projeto. Ana é um ser incrível, cheia de conhecimento e carinho por toda a natureza que a cerca. O lugar é lindo, tem um rio bem pertinho para os dias de calor. Pude compartilhar momentos com sua família e aprender mais sobre plantas, alimentação saudável e o estilo de vida longe dos grandes centros urbanos. Deixo essa experiência com muita saudade e carinho. O trabalho é bem flexível pois depende muito do clima, às vezes mais pesado, em outros mais tranquilo :)
