Thaan was kind and understanding with us during our stay. Despite this, we had to abandon volunteering before the scheduled date due to hygiene issues in the house, especially due to mouse feces in the kitchen. We talked to the host about how we felt about the situation, he understood and the next day we returned to the city.

Thaan fue amable y comprensivo durante nuestra estancia. A pesar de ello, tuvimos que abandonar el voluntariado antes de la fecha marcada por cuestiones de higiene en la casa, sobre todo, por heces de ratón en la cocina, entre otras cosas. Hablamos con Thaan y decidimos irnos, al explicarle como nos sentimos por la salubridad lo comprendió y al día siguiente volvimos a la ciudad.
