I came back after two years, and as I expected it was a great experience that will remain in my heart forever. It was great to see all the kids who have grown over time, and I thank them for the good time spent together, but most of all I would like to thank Emma and Lydia for welcoming me as one of the family. You are doing a wonderful job and I wish you all the best for the years to come. I will see you again soon. Love you dada

This experience has really warmed my heart. Emma & Lydia are great hosts, always caring and interested in my wellbeing, I couldn't ask for more! Thank you❤️ The atmosphere at the house was fun and entertaining and I created a very special bond with the kids living there! The school is a great project which is very well organized. I liked a lot that the work for volunteers was flexible. I could help out with different tasks (teaching, helping with the homework, playing and even planting bananas) depending on what I'd like to do. I totally recommend the organization and Emma and Lydia as Hosts ☀

I consider the organization a very good organization, the school is well organized, the children are getting a proper education and they're super sweet. Lydia and Emmanuel were great hosts, always helpful and supportive. I really liked my stay there and I've created a very deep connection with the children in the house. All in all I recommend the organization, I spent a good month living there and I respect a lot the work that they're doing for the children.
