Ha sido una experiencia genial, pese a que suene a tópico, fue mi primer voluntariado y creo que no podría haber caído en un lugar mejor. El entorno, lss the shelter, las tareas, Mara, Lili y mi compañero de voluntariado Lucho, han formado un conjunto perfecto que me ha hecho sentir como en casa. Esto es solo un hasta pronto puesto que pienso volver y por ende recomiendo este voluntariado a cualquier persona, que le guste la tranquilidad y adore a los the shelter.

Si te gustan los el el refugio, la naturaleza y estar alejado del estrés de la ciudad sin dudas este es tú lugar. Mara y Lili son dos anfitrionas muy atentas y la convivencia con ellas es genial, se cumple con todo lo detallado en la descripción y se está muy bien en la casa sin que te falte nada de nada. Los animalitos son muy afectuosos demostrando que los el el refugio granja también son capaces de socializar si se les da la oportunidad y en el refugio encuentran esa 2* oportunidad ya que todos provienen de situaciones de maltrato o abandono y aquí se les brinda todo lo contrario.No lo dudes y aplica!
