Fue una experiencia maravillosa de la cual me voy con el corazón lleno, aprendí mucho con y de Ana que es una mujer increíble y muy inspiradora con mucho amor por la tierra y los animales. Ella y Catarina son un equipo fantástico que me hizo sentir como en casa desde el primer momento. Las tareas eran tranquilas y los animales del lugar son una gran compañía, me llevo esta experiencia en el corazón para siempre, obrigada!

We had the privilege of welcoming Valentina as a volunteer at Casas da Ribeira, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She proved to be an exceptional person from day one — always available, dedicated, and radiating a calm and positive energy. She’s trustworthy, empathetic, and a true team player. We would wholeheartedly recommend Valentina to any project that values kindness, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. Thank you for everything, Valentina! This is your home too!
