Volunteering at Collen's farm was one of the best experience I have had. From the moment I arrived, she welcomed me with so much kindness and warmth. I really felt like being part of her family. Her generosity and generosity nature made every day special to me. Regarding the farm work was really good too, connecting with nature 100%. If you are thinking about volunteering don't hesitate and go for it! You will.

I appreciate the initial hospitality and opportunity to help. Later challenges led to an early departure, but I wish Colen all the best.
