Creating real sustainable change and impact too not only the Lieberearth Foundation but many other inspiring projects that will help so many and create a better future for the world and the next generations.The family are the most loving, kindnest and genuine people I've had the greatest blessing of meeting.

Is amazing experience for meet them culture and the way of living from a humble family. Also Prasenjit make a incredible work about the awareness of the importance of permaculture, and take care of the environment. I recommend this experience to make as more aware and learn lo live a little more with the natural resources that we have. Thank you so much!

Prasenjit was very kind to me. You have a very ambitious project in your hands that is sure to do well. He welcomed me into his home and let me be part of it the few days I was there. Sadly I had to leave early because I got sick, but he understood perfectly and was very concerned about my well-being. Thank you Prasenjit and family.

It was a lovely homestay, the host and host's mother went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable the moment I came there. So many home cooked Bengali meals. Some of the small tasks I did brought smiles that reminded me of helping my late grandma. Daily tasks were a little different then expected, but with a little communication we found a pattern that works. Prasenjit really has some cool projects going on that I told him I'd be happy to continue helping with after I leave.
