Lamentablemente no fue como lo esperaba, sugiero al anfitrión mejorar su comunicación y compromiso con respecto a lo pactado previamente.

We always communicate very clearly that drugs are not allowed on our premises. It is posted on our profile and we tell all volunteers on the day of arrival.

I loved my time at Alaya, the place is beautiful surrounded by nature and with lovely animals.
I was a volunteer yoga teacher but also had to do other tasks to complete my agreed working hours. I helped in the kitchen, with cleaning and preparing the rooms for the guest and greeting them. The work was not too hard and we always had time to take small breaks between tasks and to socialise with the other people living and working at Alaya, and that was the most special thing about this place for me, the amazing people I met and became friends with. Im so grateful for everything I learned thanks

I feel grateful for this experience in which I met very nice friends. I respect and appreciate the intention and effort that this place represents for the owner and the few people working there. But I perceived that is not a project that considers the human value of people as a priority, indeed a bussiness place, where the volunteers play the role of workers without payment and are in a kind of inferiority. I noticed very significant organizational challenges, like the lack of communication and lack of activities that support a team spirit and that cares of learning and growing of individuals

My experience in Cal Pau Cruset was amazing! Ellen is an open and understanding person always willing to help, I want to thank her for listening and accepting the ideas of the Social Media Team. I really liked the passion the people here share for animal care and protection, I fell in love with all the furry family. All the staff is very nice and easy to work with. Excellent place to volunteer and be part of the Penedes experience.
