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.

Mi experiencia en la granja fue muy hermosa. Conoci a Marilyn que es una mujer muy apasionada con el proyecto educativo que esta realizando y creando, desde el comienzo hasta el final se sintio su amabilidad y su deseo de que nos sintamos en casa, lo cual agradezco mucho. Tuve la oportunidad de ir al colegio y conocer a los niños de ahi, y acompañar a Marilyn en las actividades de liderazgo que ella ofrece en ese espacio, asi como apoyar en el espacio que esta creando en su finca para este hermoso proyecto. Muchas gracias Marilyn y Emily por recibirme y acogerme en su hogar! :)

Fué realmente como estar en casa. Marilyn es una maravillosa anfitriona. Desde antes de mí llegada estuvo muy atenta a mis dudas y para orientarme para llegar al lugar. El recibimiento fué muy cálido. La comida muy variada y rica! Las actividades con los niños muy bonitas y llenas de aprendizajes, al igual que las actividades realizadas en la casa. El proyecto y la labor de Marilyn muy digno de admirar. Me encantó dejar mi pequeña huella, colaborar para algo que va a llegar a ser algo muy enriquecedor para los niños y la comunidad!!

Marylin fui una persona muy agreable y buena bienvenida con los voluntarios. Su proyecto es de hacer una actividad con la escuela del pueblo local. La idea es de acompañar los ninos a hacer juegos de cooperación y para compartir. La experiencia fui muy agreable y te recomendamos.
