It was my first volunteering experience ever and it was absolutely marvelous. People in charge are very passionate about the project and you can easily tell. Sam, Mark and Jim are amazing people and I'm glad I met them. They always listened to us and helped us when we needed it. Other volunteers I've met there are some of the nicest people I've ever met. I've learned a lot and I feel proud to be a part of this great project. I will gladly come back next year to place even more rocks and meet even more friendly people ^^

I really had a great time at the organization, my first time ever volunteering. Mark just cooks the most amazing food for lunch to keep us energised for the rest of the day. In the afternoon Jim distributes the various tasks. I was quite surprised at how open Jim always was to suggestions. Whenever a task became too repetitive or I wanted to try out something else he always had something different to do so that I could always keep learning and perform the tasks I enjoyed the most. Together with Sam, they were an amazing team and really made sure we got the best experience - don't think twice, just go!

Incredibly rewarding and memorable is how I would describe my stay at the organization. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home. Sam was always attentive to all our needs and we always felt appreciated. I got to learn new skills that I never thought I would and Jim was a delight to work with. Work was hard sometimes but Mark's mouth-watering meals were all we needed to fuel our bodies and souls. I also got to meet so many interesting people and I feel grateful to be able to be a small part of such an incredible passion project. I already miss the place and can't wait to come back next year.

During my stay at the organization I learned a lot, and had fun with all the volunteers and the hosts. Sam, Jim and Mark were all very nice and funny people, who were always telling stories or teaching you about something. Sam was always trying to look after us and made sure that we had more than we could ask for. Mark made amazing lunches and lifted the spirit with his dog Lenny, and Jim were always joking away and talking about his previous night. And even though I had to shorten my trip by 2 weeks, did I learn a lot about construction, the amazing project and even myself.

Getting to the organization was much better than I expected. Sam, James and Mark are magnificent people, who shared many of their incredible experiences with us. I am very grateful for the understanding they had for our low English and the patience in giving us the instructions. The food was delicious, in addition to always worrying that we don't lack anything 😊. Sam was incredible and we will definitely come back another time 🤗.

My experience was really great, I felt like family, I spent my birthday with them and they made me feel very special♥️. Sam is a wonderful person, like a dad who cares about our well-being at all times and is attentive to our needs. Jim who supports us in the construction solves our doubts with a lot of kindness and charisma is always with a smile 😊 Mr. Mark who surprises us every day with abundant and delicious food. We had such a good time and there is so much commitment in this project that more than one has returned, I will come back too. 🤗

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers and it was a truly wonderful. Sam is very generous and shows ample appreciation for the work we provided. Delicious hearty meals were cooked for us everyday for lunch by Mark, which was always greatly anticipated. The work hours stated in the application were kept to. Jim helps everyday with the masonry and other construction tasks and was a complete joy to be in company with. Weekends were our off days and we were taken wherever we wanted to go to. Overall a meaningful and memorable experience and will be coming back in the future!

The organization is a really special place and I adored my time there! It is an amazing project and the atmosphere here is lovely, within 10 minutes of arriving I felt safe and welcomed here as an 18yr old solo female traveller ! Hours were just as agreed upon, this project is a really fun experience and your help will really be appreciated here. The people here are really wonderful and there is no feeling of hierarchy , Jim was really open to teaching everyone how to build and was never annoyed over any mistakes! The pace isn't rushed and everyone has a great time together!

The expierience at the organization was amazing for me. The work is tiring, but way less then I would expect and quite rewarding. Jim was an amazing costruction site manager and was patient with us. I loved the food Mark cooked us for lunch and I had the chance to try a lot of diffrent cuisines. We also had a lot of free time and organized visits during weekends. For one of the weekends we could participate at a medieval fair. In the free time we also had a stonecarving lesson with Mark. The village is the safest I have felt and the relationship with the volunteers and staff made me feel at home.

I came to the organization expecting loads of hard work and learning masonry, but what I did not expect is the wonderful community and family that everyone here provides which I am extremely grateful to have been a part of. The work is hard, yes, but extremely rewarding and is paced in a way that is doable for everyone. This is an amazing experience and an opportunity not only to learn certain skills, but also to connect with people. Definitely would recommend!!
