Wonderful experience with Jorge and Victoria.✨🇺🇾 Everything is fulfilled, schedules, tasks, meals, the facilities are very good and comfortable to live in, if you don't know something they will explain it to you, So i learned some things during my time in the finca, the natural environment is beautiful and the animals are good. The farm is in front of Route 11 so you can take the bus on your free days to go out and see other places in Uruguay. One of the best volunteering opportunities, simply THANK YOU. 🙏🏼 I enjoyed my days at the farm with you, the dogs and horses 🐎🐕💙

Having the opportunity to work with Viktoriya and Jorge at their home was better than I ever imagined. They are the kindest hosts who I consider more than friends--they are extended family. Their hospitality and mindfulness is unparalleled to volunteers' needs. For me what set this experience apart was how much open conversation we all had before my arrival. Viktoriya and Jorge da wonderful job in being honest and realistic with their communication and expectations as to make sure everything is the right fit. Working on the farm with their animals was heaven. I only wish my time was longer!

Querida Sarita, haberte conocido fue un regalo para el alma y los sentimientos. Sara, eres una persona maravillosa, inteligente, culta, dulce y dedicada. Día a día sentimos que lograbas escalar más y más en los aspectos más sensibles de nuestros seres.
Sarita, eres un ser humano muy especial, con personas como tú, demuestras que hay esperanza, que la vida puede ser mejor cada día. Una bendición para cualquier familia con la que te encuentres, si decides viajar un poco más. Inmediatamente te transformarás en una parte de ella. Generas paz y afecto. Lo decimos con conocimiento de causa, dado que así fue nuestra esperiencia contigo.

É notável o amor en cada detalhe da chácara. Os anfitriões estavam preocupados com meu bem-estar, faziam junto comigo a lista de compra de alimentos da semana e eram solícitos ao indicar lugares para conhecer na região. O trabalho foi tranquilo porque eles sempre explicavam em detalhes o que deveria ser feito, sobre o motivo de se realizar as tarefas e com sugestões de adaptações para tornar o trabalho fisicamente mais leve. Tudo é muito limpo e organizado, eu morava em uma suíte só pra mim, tinha privacidade e flexibilidade para organizar meu próprio horário. É um paraíso rural com animais
