I had a wonderful time at the home and I could learn a lot about planting and seeding. The hours and tasks were flexible which also allows you to get to know the Chapada. Diego and Theo made me feel like at home and I enjoyed being there.

A experiência na casa está sendo impecável! Diego é um anfitrião com muita experiência e consciência ambiental, além de grande vontade de ensinar. As tarefas são tranquilas e os horários muito flexíveis. A acomodação é excelente e as experiências de plantio são maravilhosas, recomendo muitíssimo esse voluntariado pra quem quer desenvolver consciência ambiental e se conectar com a terra.

Adorei a troca. Diego é um anfitrião compreensivo e flexível. As tarefas são simples (e na minha opinião, gostosas) de fazer e os horários são super flexíveis. O chalé dos voluntários é bem equipado e um lugar gostoso de ficar relaxando, cozinhando, estudando... Foi muito massa estar no the home! Uma experiência de voluntariado de verdade, cheia de trocas. Valeu pela receptividade,, Diego!

A experiência com Larissa foi ótima. Tranquila, gente boa e pro-ativa. Ajudou bastante nas atividades da roça, do viveiro e nas atividades do dia a dia, super recomendo. Será sempre bem vinda!

Minha experiência na casa foi breve, e por isso sinto que não consegui aproveitar tudo o que o local tinha a oferecer. Tivemos a oportunidade de plantar algumas árvores, e o Diego compartilhou um pouco de seu conhecimento sobre plantio e adubagem, explicando como preparar um solo fértil para o crescimento das mudas. No entanto, a vivência não se aprofundou muito além disso. Senti falta de mais troca e interação durante o voluntariado. Chegando em um momento bem corrido para Diego que já estava com outras demandas, então ficamos mais por conta própria mesmo, além disso o espaço é legal
