My experience with Giselle and Felipe was very good. From the first day they made me feel comfortable and welcome. Living with them was a very pleasant experience; they are respectful, kind people and always willing to help.

The volunteering experience was very enriching. I was able to learn, collaborate, and connect with nature. Also, at the house there are cats and dogs, which made it even more special for me, since I love animals and I greatly enjoyed spending time with them.

I left with a very nice memory of this experience and I would totally recommend it.

It was a pleasure for us to welcome you here, Rocio! It was of great help to have you here with us and to be able to learn a little more Spanish from time to time. Although your Portuguese is sooo good! Rocio's company is also very pleasant. A calm person to be around. Everything flowed perfectly. I can only thank you!

The volunteer experience was very good, I would highly recommend it.
Giselle and Felipe made me feel at home; they are always very kind and flexible with the schedules and tasks.
The meals were homemade, local, and very delicious; the house is very cozy, large and very beautiful; there are several cats and dogs.
I hoped to meet more volunteers, but since the project is just starting I know they may adjust things; there are also many things to do in the house.

I would like to express my special thanks to the house for this incredible volunteering experience. Especially to the host Gisele, for the affection, attention and warm welcome since the first day. The place is extremely cozy, full of good energies and needs people who really want to help. I am grateful to have been the first volunteer at old_school_farm_house and I plan to return.
