This was one of favorite experiences as a volunteer in UK. I learned a lot. People were lovely; especially Jason, one of the managers of the Cafe, because he could really connect with his teams during this time I was there. He is an amazing leader and a very patient person. If you decide to go, get ready for deeply connections with people and awareness learnings. Thanks to everyone involved in this volunteer. Love you all! I definitely recommend this volunteer experience!!! 🙏

I spent a month in the project Center, and it was a lovely experience. I would come back again for sure! They have a beautiful community, and the place is really peaceful. It's an excellent begging if you want to keep in touch with budisim as well.

Não podia ter escolhido lugar melhor para meu primeiro voluntariado! O lugar é deslumbrante de lindo com toda a natureza em volta, a vila é pequena e afastada das cidades grandes, então se você procura paz e se conectar com a natureza, esse é o lugar perfeito. Confesso que para mim a melhor parte foram as pessoas que conheci, trabalhei com um grupo de voluntários incríveis, sem falar no gerente do café, uma pessoa maravilhosa que tornou tudo melhor. O lugar é bem organizado e cumpriram as horas combinadas, sendo super flexíveis e compreensíveis caso acontecesse algo. Super recomendo!
