100% recommended project, just apply! Carol is special, an all-round artist, she has so much to teach. With her lifestyle and her project she truly showed me how to live more connected with nature and I learned a lot of practical things and new perspectives on lives. Everyday we worked on something different so the work was never boring, from painting to building. She is super flexible with the time and we agreed together when we prefer to work, day by day. She has been so nice to host a friend of mine too! She showed us all around the beautiful Valle and we always cooked good food together!

Carol tiene um proyecto muy interesante en termos de sostinibilidad, aprendí mucho como hacer lo mejor con los recursos disponibles. Trabajamos en la construcción con piedras, aunque fue muy pesado, pudo contribuir y aprender un montón. El voluntariado me encantó porque tuvo una linda oportunidad de conectarme conmigo misma y con la naturaleza. Vivi momentos muy lindos en el cerro y en el rio. Además, aunque no haya mucha comodidad, como agua caliente y internet, la experiencia va más alla. És espiritual. Conocí muchas lindas personas y Carol tiene un rol interesante para conversaciones.

Muy buena experiencia, tuvimos muy buena recepción por parte de Carol y sus familiares. Pudimos conocer múltiples pueblos del valle y comer diversos alimentos de la zona. En cuanto al trabajo, bastante entretenido, pues aprendimos bastante de construcción y de carpintería.
