Saira and her Family are so kind and respectful. My stay in Victoria was full of new impressions and thats because Saira told me Spots to visit and helped me with trips to Victoria and other places. I loved and enjoyed the work with the kids and all around the house. The nature around the neighbourhood was so quiet and its perfect for short hikes to the beach or in the forest.I felt so comfortable in their home. Thank you so much to all of you.

What can I say, we came as volunteers and left as friends! We spend with Saira, and the kids 3 weeks together. The last week also with her husband Syed. Our time with the family was incredible, we really enjoyed every day. Especially for me was is interesting to see the family doing homeschooling. Our tasks were a daily small cleaning, cooking, playing and helping out with groceries/ in the garden/ fixing things/ a full clean ones a week (kitchen/living room). As well we shared with the kids the daily chores, what was just fun for all of us. Moreover i really enjoyed our conversations :). THX
