This is an interesting study about the interaction between humans and the natural environment. This project definitively has all the potential to make a positive impact on people's well being. Personally, I found it a challenging experience, which led me to cut short my volunteer period. Nevertheless, it's worth it. I'd like to thank David, the administrator, for being always attentive and ensuring the experience was top-notch!

The reserve is an incredible place. It's a nature reserve set up to help people treat traumas by getting in touch with nature. I spent two weeks here and loved every second of it. It was a real break from reality whilst it also reinvigorated my love for nature. The guys running the place are amazing too. Always trying to make sure that volunteers get the absolute most from their experience here

Minha experiência em a reserva foi incrível, cercada de natureza e aprendizado prático. Conheci pessoas acolhedoras, especialmente o David, que sempre foi paciente e animado. As tarefas, como cuidar das plantas, lixar bambus e preparar comida simples, me fizeram valorizar o cuidado ambiental de forma real e tranquila. O ritmo é livre, sem pressa, e o contato com a floresta e animais trouxe uma conexão profunda. Aqui, aprendi a viver com simplicidade, respeito e amizade, aproveitando cada momento de convivência e natureza.
