I spent two weeks at the Casino helping with repairs, painting, and general upkeep. Lawrence was a kind and caring host with a great sense of humor. His project has real heart and impact. In our free time, we biked through the forest, played games, and shared deep conversations by the fire. I learned a lot despite having no prior experience and would love to return for a longer stay. Highly recommend If you are looking for something new and special!

My stay at the Casino was short but intense (in a very fun way). Lawrence is incredibly welcoming, understanding, supportive and full of energy, and it's contagious. The project is ambitious and inspiring. There's plenty of things to do, various skills to be learned. Everyday is different. The volunteers need to be fairly autonomous which creates a little the organization. Everyone is always ready to help.

Lawrence is really an admirable host. He really puts in effort to improve the lives of people the organization and to make volunteers feel at home. I am vegan and have a lot of allergies, and he was very proactive in trying to understand my diet to ensure I always had all the food I needed. To the volunteers reading this review, I assure you that here you will find meaningful and varied tasks, and a knowledgeable host always ready to explain them. Each morning, tasks are discussed with the whole team, and all volunteers can take on the jobs that best suit their abilities or what they want to learn.

Casino Van Gompel is a great place! This was our first volunteer and we enjoyed since the first second, the house is so amazing and big, you will have a lot of different tasks to do there, from fixing things, building, and cleaning to gardening and of course, one of my favorites, work in the Café, we did amazing friends that will be in my heart for the rest of my life, we connected with nature and learned about the everyday life the organization. Lawrence is a great host, we had an amazing room that other volunteers prepared for us, very nice food to prepare our meals and hot water to take good baths
