Our experience at the Center was just amazing. I cannot express how wonderful these two weeks have been, and how filled with positivity and joy they were. We learned so much during our stay, met unique and incredible people, and we had lots of fun. The farm is just a place full of light. No stress there, even though the tasks are sometimes intense, but we always work with an optimistic point of view, and are always taught how to do our tasks with a smile. Honestly, this was a 10 out of 10 experience, and I would recommend anyone to go there (but only if you're willing to work!!)

Fue mi primera experiencia en el voluntariado y estoy totalmente seguro que me tocó el mejor lugar de todos. Calidez humana, solidaridad, diversión, aprendizajes, conversaciones de temas interesantes, transmisión de ideologías y pensamientos de vida, paseos a lugares turísticos, comunicación fluida, comidas típicas y regionales, socialización con los locales, entre tantas otras cosas. Tanto Padma como Piero y su comunidad de amigos, me hicieron sentir como uno más del resto incluyéndome en todo, agradezco de todo corazón que me hayan ayudado en todo e incluso en mucho más de lo que debían.
