I really enjoyed the campsite; it's a welcoming and friendly place. What I liked most was feeding the animals (donkey, goats, sheep, and chickens) in the mornings with the children who were camping. I learned what to do and what to be aware of at a campsite. We ate local food and shared meals with another volunteer Damian and the camp managers; Job and Rene. Thank you so much for everything. I wish you all the best with your project.

We spent a wonderful time here, helping with different tasks around the campsite. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly and peaceful. One of our favorite parts was feeding the animals in the mornings and sharing time with the campsite managers and volunteers. Thank you very much for everything.

Staying with Annick was a wonderful experience. She is an incredibly sweet, loving, and protective person. She will take care of you like family and always makes sure you're okay. She encourages you to fully immerse yourself in the local experience. The tasks aren't too difficult, and the people there are very friendly. The place is spacious, surrounded by nature, and very peaceful.
