I had a great time, helping around Colleen and Deryn on the farm. Both of them were very welcoming, and generous. There was a wide variety of tasks to do, which gave me the opportunity to learn new skills. And we never got bored. Colleen also gave us the opportunity to visit the country side, by taking us where ever she went. We really enjoyed our volunteering experience !

For my first time in Ireland, I spent three great weeks at Colleen's house! She is very appealing, generous and funny, and that allowed me to have a good time in this nice farm in the irish countryside. The work comprised cleaning and agricultural tasks mainly. I had the chance to learn different things every day and, thanks to Colleen, I also had the opportunity to visit many cities and parks nearby! The animals are very sweet and the landscapes are beautiful. I'm so glad I had the chance to meet Colleen and I would gladly go back!
