Dianne is incredible woman, she gave me so much. I am happy to have helped her these weeks. I think we have created a true relationship, so I'm sure we keep in touch in the future! And Tito!! I love him so much, he is a beautiful dog, he is so smart and cuddly. I will miss both of them, but I's sure we will meet in the future.

To stay in The Dianne's Being at Dianne's house was a great experience, Dianne is a very intelligent and very kind woman and Tito is a very beautiful dog, taking care of him is a nice experience. I was able to practice my English and Dianne was willing to show me around the city and even introduce me to her friends who are excellent people. I didn't want to leave there, I felt very comfortable.

My experience with Dianne (and Tito) was one of the best things I've experienced in my life. The space I have here is not enough to express my gratitude for having met you. It wasn't volunteering, it was the emergence of a new friendship. I will carry you in my heart forever. I hope we meet again. See you soon.

Rodrigo was one of the best volunteers I received. Nothing was ever too big a task for him. He cleared up my garden, he took great care of Tito.He painted a lot and was brilliant at cooking .
A great friendship has emerged from this experience.Also adding to this Rodrigo’s wonderful wife arrives for Xmas and cooked family and friends a beautiful Brazilian meal.
Lovely people and I truly look forward to seeing them both again in the near future.
Rodrigo was like a son to me.

Wishing a beautiful couple all the best for the future and see you in the near future
