The project was my first volunteer and it couldn't have been better. I really enjoyed my 3 weeks there. I loved all the people, the city, the food, the castle, everything. I worked in househould and Cafe, both were amazing, the working hours were very respectable and the job was very easy too. I wish back to the project in the future.

I enjoyed working at the cafe. It reminded me of my time when I was still a student. I think this experience is really good for those who wanted to have some work experience. For me, I enjoyed meeting with other volunteers, sharing stories, helping each other and making new friends and learning about their cultures. I also had the opportunity to attend Dhamma classes at night and learnt new things from the teachers. Overall, it was a good experience, one that I will remember.

Similar to more than 25 years ago when I had some active years involved in Buddhist organisations and temples, I found a lot of familiarity. At the same time I experienced new things such as different ways food was carefully prepared and served each day and other tasks on the lead up to the summer festival. Although the stay was short I had a good experience especially meeting volunteers and Buddhist teachers from various parts of the world. I had the opportunity outside work hours to join Dhamma classes, meditations and reading Dhamma books.

I resided @ MKMC for 4 weeks & worked in 2 departments: 1 week getting the newly refurbished cafe cleaned & touched up prior to opening; 2 weeks in the newly opened cafe; and 1 week in the arts studio. All the staff that I encountered were respectful, appreciative & patient. I asked to change roles to learn new skills - even though I enjoyed the cafe work - and I was listened to. The food is varied, mostly very flavoursome, well labelled, nutritious and abundant; you can also help yourself to lots of delicious teas/coffee. The beach/estuary nearby and the surrounding woodland are stunning!
