It was a very good experience. I learned a bit about how to use different materials. The place is very beautiful and surrounded by nature. The workers are good people, and Jacob is a good host.

I had an amazing time at the organization. I learned new skills through hands-on projects and really enjoyed connecting with Jacob and the other volunteers. The facilities are great a gym, pools, and plenty of green space around the camp, with fruit trees growing on-site. I totally recommend this place. PS: Bring food with you the closest market is about 4 km away.

I had a great experience volunteering at the organization. I worked four hours each day and the tasks were exactly as agreed. I really enjoyed the work and there was plenty of free time to discover the nearby towns Santa Teresa and Montezuma. Jacob and the whole team were incredibly kind and I felt immediately included. I also managed to improve my Spanish a lot by talking to the workers every evening. I honestly wish I could have stayed longer. I can highly recommend this place

Volunteering here was an amazing experience! I learned how to work with cement, make fake rocks, and use ferrocement—something I never tried before. The team was patient and supportive, and even though my English isn't perfect, I felt understood and welcomed. I'm really proud of what I helped build and thankful for the chance to learn these unique skills.

I really enjoyed living in the organization for 2 weeks and wish I could've stayed longer! It was exciting to learn about planting and building techniques. I had a really nice language exchange with the workers at the organization, and they also drove me around to let me explore the area😍 Jacob also took us to Sámara where we got to spend the night and see one of his bars which was really fun. And the daily morning yoga sessions with Claudia have to be mentioned as well :) Would recommend!!
