Nuestra estancia con Samba y su familia en Ibel fue una experiencia profunda y auténtica. Nos acogieron con cariño, compartiendo su cultura y un entorno natural precioso. La comida casera fue excelente, siempre variada y deliciosa. Desarrollamos ideas para mejorar la visibilidad del proyecto y enriquecer futuras experiencias de voluntariado. Ideal para quienes buscan conexión cultural real y desean apoyar el ecoturismo local. ¡Un voluntariado transformador y muy recomendable!

Javier's stay at my place was very rich in color I learned his culture and tradition in European cuisine, to exchange ideas for the success of our association's project and to make plans for a vegetable nursery to repair the garden fence it was really available flexible, courageous, understanding and quickly adopted community life!!! The visit of the tourist sites of the Bassari country was there!!! I recommend it to guests from all over the world!!!

Convivir con la familia de Samba en Ibel ha sido una experiencia auténtica y transformadora. La cultura peul es profundamente familiar, respetuosa y generosa: todo se comparte, y los niños te reciben con los brazos abiertos. Cada día ofrece aprendizajes y la oportunidad de acercarse la comunidad su lengua y tradiciones. No es una experiencia adaptada la comunidad comodidades occidentales, pero sí profundamente humana, genuina y enriquecedora. Totalmente recomendable para quienes buscan conexión real, vida sencilla y nuevos horizontes. Gracias por todo.

Laura's stay with me and my community was very, very interesting and unforgettable 👍
I lack the words to describe her!!! She was truly available, understanding, flexible, fun, and very kind!!! I remember her computer classes, European cuisine, and Spanish language studies!!! We already miss her!!!
If we're going to rate her by star, she deserves more than 5 stars. I recommend her to guests from all over the world.
