Even before we arrived, we connected with Dorien and Sjoerd, who received our questions, knew how to answer everything and even helped us to get there, since we had a lot of luggage. In relation to our volunteer experience, they did their best to explain everything to us, show us the city, beaches, wonderful bars and they were very kind. They are truly friendly, sincere and genuine. They made us love the house and the place so much and gave us so much confidence in ourselves that it really allowed us to grow a lot as people today. I would come back without hesitation.
