I really enjoyed the stay at marilyns home and project. The tasks were so much fun, like painting, maintenance of garden etc, with Option to also do some more challenging handcrafts. The work with the kids was also fun and really made me happy because they were so cute. Marilyn was really worried about my wellbeing all the time and Tried to think of acitivities she cound include us volunteers in after work, like showing us around the village etc. We had a really nice community for the time i Was there, it was like living with a family. Thank you, Marilyn!

This experience was wonderful from the beginning 'til the end. Marylin lives close to a river, in a green area in the countryside. Her house is super. I shared my room with another volunteer. She has three social dogs and an independent cat. The missions were adapted each days depending of the weather. The project is in construction and the place needs to be adapted to welcome people. It was the aim of our missions. I loved this peaceful place and I found a family there 🫶🏽 Marilyn tries her best to make you feel at home and enjoy your stay. She is open-minded, dynamic and generous.

Vim para ficar uma semana, fiquei três. Marilyn tem um projeto inspirador e me recebeu muito bem em sua finca. Amei desenvolver as tarefas na casa, acompanhar as atividades com as crianças e compartilhar o cotidiano com Marilyn e Emily. Os dias são tranquilos, acolhedores e de muito desenvolvimento pessoal. Recomendo essa experiência! :)

Qué experiencia maravillosa! la granja fue uno la granja mejores voluntariados. Tienen una hermosa finca repleta de aves y flores, con una casa espaciosa y ordenada. Las comidas estuvieron deliciosas y abundantes! Marylin se ocupó todo el tiempo de que estuvieron cómodos y viviésemos la experiencia local aprendiendo y conociendo el pueblo y su gente. Las tareas fueron divertidas y se respetan los horario a la perfección. Sin dudas lo mejor fue el trabajo con los niños! Nos sentimos bien recibidos y nos fuimos llenos de abrazos 🤗 Recomiendo profundamente que vivan esta hermosa experiencia ♥️
