I really enjoyed the days I spent at the project, the nature, the other lovely volunteers and the friendly goats really made it beautiful. I unfortunately had to leave early due to an emergency and everybody has been very flexible and kind about it. I'm really happy I got to live this experience!

I volunteered at the project for a week and had a great experience. Ben was a kind and supportive host, and even welcomed my friend to join. The tasks were manageable and we often finished early, helping out with other small jobs. The other volunteers were friendly and created a welcoming atmosphere. the project is a unique place with a great sense of community. I'd love to volunteer there again and highly recommend it to others!

This experience has been magical to me, I met a lot of good people from around the world and made beautiful friendships. Everyone is nice and warm. They are flexible, patient and helpful. You will feel like home and fall in love with the place. I totally recommend it if you want to have a great time. I've also learned a lot about culture, history and had a lot of fun. I'll keep this in my memory forever🩷

This is a place where you can choose how to spend your time and what projects you engage in. There is an emphasis on trust, and that everyone has abilities and potential they can share and explore at their own pace. There are tasks like cleaning, painting, animal care (Goats, Emus!) But you can also dream up new projects or ways to improve volunteer life. I pursued donations (like pianos, video games,) organized group trips, started a podcast, designed a museum space & art pieces, created events and community partnerships.. But best of all- I made friends- who made my time here truly special.
