We loved our time at the farm! Mohamed, Saiid and Abdu are incredible people and treated us very well from our first day, as well as cooking delicious meals for us! The work routine was super easy, we helped with cleaning the house, collecting water, feeding the animals and maintaining the house. I hope other volunteers enjoy this experience as much as we did! The heat here is really intense so bring sun cream and light clothing!

I feel that volunteering at the farm has been one of the most enriching experiences of our lives. It's an opportunity to get out of your comfort zone, see the world from a new perspective and be in contact with locals and understand their reality. For me, almost an anthropological experience. I recommend it if this is your intention.

It took me a day or two to adapt to the primitive conditions but once the week passed I didn't want to leave. Hassan, Ayoub and Abdul are such kind and welcoming souls and the other volunteers too. Such a great way to experience the moroccan culture especially as it was ramadan at the time. Don't miss the desert trip as it will blow your mind❤️
