Im travelling with my girlfriend, this was our very first volunteer and we just loved it. We met really amazing people, we learned a lot of new stuff, tasks and skills. We really enjoyed improving the place, helping out with the Cafe, and having the group dynamic everyday. Food is not a problem, a lot of options and enough for everyone! Lawrence is a great host, we really had an amazing time here

I had an amazing time at Casino Van Gompel! Lawrence was a generous host and I appreciated all his hospitality, especially that he picked me up at the train station when I arrived. The accommodations were very good, my room was much bigger than I expected. I spent a lot of my time working at the cafe serving drinks, which I very much enjoyed. I also had the chance to develop new skills, such as plastering and spreading concrete. My favorite part of this experience was getting to meet all the amazing international volunteers and getting the chance to exchange cultures with them.

This volunteering experience was one of the best I have had. Lawrence received us with a warm heart heart, he gave us the opportunity to share this experience with my mom, and had the patience to teach us and guideus through the daily activities. We really enjoy cooking, working at the bar, restoring the beautiful teather and sharing great and lovely experiences with the other volunteers. Lawrence, thanks a lot for the experience. You are very welcome to 🇨🇴 too!

An incredible experience at Casino Van Gompel. The tasks are varied and interesting. There are plenty of opportunities to learn different skills and share ideas. Also great to meet so many other volunteers and locals. The plan for the Casino going forward is very the organization orientated and it was great to play a small part in that. The building itself is very impressive. Can get cold at night, but there are blankets, duvets and hot water bottles provided. Plenty of food also provided, as well as some bikes for transport. Overall I had a fantastic experience and I hope to back sometime.

I have been traveling and volunteering for over one year. I think this is the best place so far! I feel home. Our host, Lawrence is incredibly patient and caring for everybody.The working hour's fair for exchange the amount of foods and having private room for each person. Though, mostly volunteers were speaking Spanish, still there were people speaking English. I honestly think that if various people come here, it will be more enjoyable! Come with friends and have fun while helping Lawrence's work. It is amazing how much he cares for others, and doing the project for people with low incomes.

Lawrence was an amazing host! He really cares about the volunteers and the Casino. He provided all the things in the description (food, a private space, internet, etc). He tries to increase the place as much as the volunteers and him can do it. The Café opens now every Sunday, so you can have a different shift and meet the organization people. The volunteers were so kind, fun and we made plans together to know around Mol and each other. 100% I recommend this place to someone that wants to meet international volunteers, learn new skills and being out of the tourist urban centers of Europe. 👐🏻✨️

My experience here was very special. Lawrence, the host, is very invested in his project and is very inspiring to see. He tries his best to make you feel welcome and comfortable, and will always try to help in anyway he can. The work hours were respected and he was flexible for the free days, but normally we would have weekends free. It was an amazing opportunity to meet new people and have a cultural exchange. Thank you once again and I can't wait to see the place functional! I highly recommend this experience willing to learn about construction and restoring, and help in social projects.
