I stayed for two months longer right after my first month volunteering here with Michael and family. I am happy to be a part of the community. I have learned a lot about renovation, a great place for anyone to volunteer.

I stayed for two months with Michael and Anu and they are an amazing family to live with. They make you feel apart of the family right away. They are both extremely hard workers and Anu is also an amazing cook. Working at the factory is a great opportunity to learn about construction and it taught me a lot of good skills that I’ll hopefully use one day. I was able to get a job while staying with them so I could make some money at the same time which was nice. They are very gracious and giving people that welcome everyone! It’s a great opportunity to volunteer here.

Michael and Anu welcome you into their home and treat you as if you were family. They take the time to get to know you and do whatever they can to make your stay comfortable and fun. Michael tells the best stories, and Anu is a wonderful cook. I couldn't ask for a better experience than the ones I've had here. This is my second time with them, that's how much I enjoy being here!

I learned so much about building techniques from Michael—he's incredibly knowledgeable and patient. Michael, Anu, and their lovely family treated every volunteer like one of their own. Anu is hands down one of the best cooks I've ever met—her curries are absolutely amazing!
This experience gave me a unique and heartwarming perspective on life in Australia. If you're thinking about coming here, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!
