The Experience

Pretendemos cultivar castanheiros, mas, antes disso temos de limpar o terreno e alojar todos os voluntários nas nossas tendas. Vamos ter muito tempo para trabalhar na parte da plantação, porque, vamos aproveitar bem o dia para também terem aulas de danças clássicas e afro-latinas, até mesmo, ZUMBAclassic. Temos trilhos para caminhadas até ao rio Ave, e tomar belos banhos de água transparente e pura. Conhecer a aldeia turística de AGRA.

The best volunteer. I can't put into words how grateful I am with o senhor José and his family, they are the kindest, humblest and most beautiful people I've ever met. Lived the best days here.This has changed my perspective of seeing the world and life in general.You don't only stay in touch with beautiful nature but also get involved in the Portuguese culture, he showed me to cook so many dishes. The tasks are easy and double, my time and space was always respected. If you have the chance apply, the project is amazing. Forever grateful with them for receiving me and sharing their culture wme

There are no words in my dictionary to describe the qualities that Worldpackers volunteer Naomy Flores has. A very big heart in generosity and humility towards other people. However, she was always attentive to everything she could learn and always achieved her goals. In addition to knowing how to speak Spanish, English and a little French, Naomy Flores made an effort to speak Portuguese all the time and when she didn't know some words, she asked herself without any fear of asking how to say the word she had doubts about. Always attentive to everything, in agriculture, in the kitchen, in the recycling of various objects that we currently have at our Quinta do Alto da Sarniça. Better than this comment, which is so little to praise the volunteering she did with us, I will make a video myself that will summarize what NAOMY FLORES is and who it is, which will be published on my Worldpackers page and on social media. Conclusion: for all Worldpackers hosts, don't hesitate to have her with you when she signs up, because, from her punctuality, humility, willingness to learn and respect, this volunteer is TOP. Thank you Naomy Flores for being with us in helping with many different tasks, on which you are to be congratulated.

Em Português:
Não há palavras no meu dicionário para descrever as qualidades que a voluntária da Worldpackers, Naomy Flores tem. Um coração muito grande em generosidade e humildade para com as outras pessoas. No entanto, ela esteve sempre atenta a tudo para aprender e atingiu sempre os objetivos. Para além de saber falar Espanhol, Inglês e um pouco de Francês, a Naomy Flores esforçou-se todo o tempo em falar Português e quando não sabia algumas palavras, ela mesma perguntava sem qualquer receio em questionar como dizer a palavra que tinha dúvidas. Sempre atenta a tudo, na agricultura, na cozinha, na reciclagem de vários objetos que temos neste momento na nossa Quinta do Alto da Sarniça. Melhor do que este comentário que é tão pouco para elogiar o voluntariado que ela fez connosco, eu mesmo farei um vídeo que resumirá o que é, e quem é a NAOMY FLORES, que será publicado na minha página da Worldpackers e em redes sociais. Conclusão: para todos os anfitriões do Worldpackers, não hesitem em tê-la com vocês quando ela fizer a candidatura, porque, desde a pontualidade, humildade, vontade de aprender e respeito, esta voluntária é TOP. Obrigado Naomy Flores por teres estado connosco em ajudar em muitas tarefas diferentes, no qual estás de PARABÉNS.
