Eu só fiquei por 3 dias porque tive um problema de saúde na família, tive que sair às pressas. Então o trabalho que pretendia colaborar não deu pra realizar. Fui recebida com simpatia. A Alexandra me deixou a vontade pra transitar pela casa, inclusive na cozinha. Isso foi legal demais. Não há rigidez com Horários e tarefas a realizar. Mas eu prefiro que as tarefas fiquem claras e determinadas, pelo Menos no início do dia. Acredito muito no “combinado não é caro” pra evitar frustrações. Agradeço o carinho que me dedicaram, especialmente pela forma como tive que sair. Sorte a vocês!

Fiquei bastante surpresa com sua avaliação negativa, visto que foi sua decisão descontinuar a estadia conosco. Estou postando aqui no comentário público para deixar claro aos próximos voluntários que em 3 dias que ficou conosco, saindo de repente por questões pessoais, é óbvio que não teve a experiência proposta entre as partes. Sendo assim, não posso considerar as avaliações que deixou que reduziram nossa média de estrelas…. Te recebemos com conforto, carinho e respeito. Quanto às atividades propostas, não houve tempo para realização. Por isso te desejo sorte e mais cuidado e respeito com aqueles que te acolhem.

Totalmente grata pela experiência que tive dentro do sítio, em poucas semanas Marcelo, Alexandra, Dona Maria Helena, Déia, Marta e Mana se tornaram minha família. Tive ensinamentos incríveis com o bambu que vou levar comigo para vida inteira, desenvolvi projetos lindos que guardarei com muito carinho na minha memória. Saio dessa experiência mais consciente, mais sensível e resiliente com a vida. E também apaixonada por Teresópolis e por esse cantinho entre as montanhas.
