The Experience

El proyecto esta iniciando y por el momento hay 7000m2 en los que hay que imaginar que hacer (las ideas no faltan). Ya se sembró arboles y se diseñó los jardines de alrededor pero todavía falta mucho. Queremos sembrar un bosque comestible, organizar zonas de agua, un futuro temazcal, una zona de kiosko, la zona de cultivo y compostaje... También tenemos un proyecto en construcción de turismo y de bien estar.

I spent two very peaceful weeks at Casa Hika with Alan, Daisy, Luna (their super cute dog), Pandi & Guiska (their cuddling cats), and eight loving chickens. The house is very welcoming and comfortable and the volunteer gets a spacious private room and own bathroom! Alan and Daisy always cook healthy and yummy food (some days a week that the volunteer's task) and are very knowledgeable human beings. With them I learnt new skills around simple DYI projects, gardening and painting. This kind of volunteer is perfect for those who love being away from the city and enjoy spending time outdoors.

I spent four wonderful weeks with Daisy and Alan. My stay allowed me to learn more about maintaining sustainable and eco-responsible land. The hosts trusted me and gave me a lot of autonomy in the various tasks to be carried out. Their house is warm and welcoming. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys spending time in nature!

Si quieres un lugar alejado de la ciudad, aprender cosas de campo, un lugar tranquilo ☺️ Es tu voluntariado. Las tareas son tareas de campo, yo debía hacer unos muebles con unas tablas, realmente estaba sencillo, pero finalmente no pude concluir esta actividad que de verdad si quería aprender espero los demas voluntarios si puedan culminar aquello Alan y daisy Son muy chéveres de verdad Los visitaré algún día

Disfruté mucho nuestra estancia con Deisy y Alan, son unas personas realmente especiales, amables y muy agradables, realizamos algunas actividades con la huerta, el cuidado de los animales y la creación de contenido para el proyecto del valle. Nos enseñaron muchos juegos divertidos, y compartieron buenas historias, gracias por la rica pizza y los buenos momentos, deseo para ustedes que este 2025 florezca el proyecto el Valle, gracias totales y como dijo Alan “Nos vemos en los corazones”
