Volunteering here was amazing, I practiced my English and learned new skills that I will take to my life. Eoin is a very nice guy, fun and always willing to help, Martina is an admirable person. The children are super polite and kind, Maggie always cheerful and sociable, already Francesca is more shy, but very disciplined and skillful, Thomas and Hugo are more reserved and shy, but brilliant and attentive.Knowing this family was a blessing, the time I stayed there was formidable, of great importance to me and certainly recommend for everyone!Eoin and Martina thank you so much for everything!

I couldn't have asked for a better first volunteer experience! Eoin and Martina are incredibly kind and generous. They always take the time to explain things to you in a caring manner. The children are very kind and well-behaved. I'm going to miss this family!
