It was a very good experience! We loved to stay with Niro, and learned a lot with him on our daily conversations. His purpose is very noble and important, and I am sure he will succeed on his ambitions of spreading natural farming across the country. The food he cooked was amazing! We couldn't do much work due to a big storm, as it was raining all days, but we could meet the comunity and help in some minor tasks.

I am very happy with our stay at SNF with Niro and his kind family. We stayed for two weeks and helped mostly with physical work in the garden. There is also possibility to contribute to other projects in the village. We also got opportunity to attend a buddist ceremony, visit in the city with the family and a show at the childrens school. They bring you along, want to have discussions about life, cultures, environment etc and make you feel like one in the family. You must adapt to flexible schedule and easy going lifestyle, and you will have a great time!

We felt so welcomed by Niro and Umanga. We got to help out in their garden and got to know the culture, the locals in the village and about gardening. We got delicious food and unlimited amount of tea. We worked a couple of hours during the day with breaks for tea and lunch. In the afternoons we relaxed in our room or sat and talked with the family in the kitchen. Some days we went on day trips with the family, went to the river to swim and some days we did nothing. Niro and Umanga are very kind and want you to have your best experience while they also get to know you.

Niro and Umonga welcome you like family and you're quickly immersed in their lives which is a blessing. The preschool kids are adorable and so are Niro and Umongas children. You have to be flexible as days change and there won't always be things to do.

Beautiful people, a truly peaceful and inspiring place. Not to mention incredible food! There isn't really a set schedule of how to help so be prepared to adapt on the day, as long as you can go with the flow you're all set. I want to go back!

I highly recommend this host. The family is incredible and you will immediately feel at home. It was an incredible experience. Every day was a new adventure. You will learn a lot about the local culture,the project itself, Buddhism and also about yourself. I definitely recommend this experience.

This was a very beautiful experience. We were hosted by Niro on a very rainy week which made it hard to do some physical work. Besides that, we exchanged a lot about everything: the purpose of the project, politics, agriculture, culture, cooking… We met many local families by visiting them, that was also a very immersive experience. I believe Niro is a person with a very good heart and purposes, which him the best luck to him, his family, all their dreams and the project ☺️
