Thank you to everybody at the project, my stay there was so amazing. Socialising with other volunteers, having nearly all the meals together, working and learning in the field, practicing Spanish (and English) - basically just a perfect volunteering place for a first timer like me!! Oh and of course the permanent family, what a joyful, harmonic, intelligent and funny group of people they are😊

The project is as much a family as any temporary stay is able to offer. From day 1 the permanent residents seem to embrace you with love and respect. After 3 weeks at the project I decided to stay for the full month. I could not get enough of the warmth, the space to develop oneself, the food/postres and the volcanic surroundings with beautiful hikes. At the project you quickly seem to earn the responsibility you deserve, and are very much a valued and useful part of the work team. There is so much enjoyable work to be done! I particularly enjoyed the bioconstruction. So fulfilling 😍.

Jaimy was a delight to have at home! He was always up to something: the adobe walls on the new building, baking bread for hours and hours, sharing his culinary skills! His kindness, respect and love will be missed.

I had a wonderful experience at the project. They have a well established volunteer program, so I think it is a great choice (at any time during your work exchange life), but especially for those who have never done a work exchange. Everyone is treated with love and respect, and they are so welcoming to all. They are also flexible and understanding.
