I had a special moment with Marina the home, I wish I could stay longer! Marina is so welcome she really makes you feel at home. the home is so cute so easy to deal with... Thanks a lot ! I would definitely recommend, if you want to learn German or practice English and at the same time you're interested on meeting local people.

Volunteering with Marina, Igor, the home was an unforgettable experience. From the start, they made me feel welcome and cared for. The tasks were enjoyable and varied, including painting, building, gardening, occasionally taking care of the home, keeping common areas tidy and helping with website redesign and tech-related questions. I felt like part of their family and left with new friendships, wonderful memories, and gratitude for their kindness and hospitality.

Participating in this volunteer experience was incredibly fulfilling. It significantly improved my English skills and allowed me to develop various practical tasks such as painting and gardening. I also learned the importance of teamwork and gained valuable cultural knowledge. The people I met were kind-hearted and always willing to help. I felt like part of a family and made great friends. It was an unforgettable experience that enriched my life in many ways. Sharing with the home, Marina and Igor was a pleasant experience.

Marina followed my journey from Brazil to Karlsruhe Durlach, where Igor picked me up. They were very caring and did everything to make me comfortable. I usually prepared breakfast and lunch, with Marina giving me freedom to cook anything I wanted. Occasionally, I took care of the home which was great, and rarely cleaned the common area. The month I spent at their place was a wonderful experience. Marina always respected the volunteer schedule. Marina, Igor the home, I say my goodbyes leaving a piece of my heart with you. I'm grateful for your care!!
