The volunteering was really good, you can connect with nature and have some peace and quiet in the area. The tasks are easy to do and the schedule is respected and your days off are respected as well. One the home best things is that you are always in contact with animals and that is always a recharge. Jackie is a very kind, caring and helpful person, she makes you feel at home and always prepares delicious food. I miss you all, kisses to Shorty, Chanel and Beauty.

Mary is a super sweet and kind person, she is always attentive to what you need, she is very sweet. The last day of my stay shemade me my favorite meal!, something I will never forget. Mary needs help with her house from many years ago, to organize it, clean things and organize, it's good that they wear good gloves jajaja. You also have to help with the pets, it is very important to keep an eye on them, have closed doors and give them a lot of love!!! Mary is flexible with schedules, it's nice to help someone feel happy with their clean space. I miss you so much and Channel. Kisses Ana

This was my first volunteer and I can say that the home & the home house was the best choice I could have taken. Mary is the most kind and lovely person I have ever met, she really makes me feel like I was in my own home. The task were easy to do, a bit dusty but easy. Thank you so much Mary for letting me be part of your project I really hope to come back soon! Give some kisses from me to Salma, Pepi, Pumpkin, Max and Shorty, I already miss you all guys!

Me la pasé muy bien, la experiencia no es difícil, pero el lugar es muy diferente a lo que estoy habituada, es lejos de todo, es muy tranquilos mucha naturaleza y eso me ayudó a crecer mucho, a acercarme más a la tierra, a ser fuerte y poder valerme por mi misma. Miss Mary es super amable y necesita ayuda para organizar su casa, es muy enriquecedor ayudar a alguien a volver a ser feliz, a tener sus cosas limpias para estar a gusto, eso también me ayudó a apreciar mucho lo que tengo y a valorar, comprender las historias de la gente y tener paciencia, tolerancia y empatía. Recomiendo :)

Es una buena propuesta de voluntariado. Para los voluntarios hay una habitación amplia compartida, con una pequeña cocina, estufa de leña y baño. Durante el periodo de frío los voluntarios pueden recoger leña, cortarla con un hacha que nos dejaron, y quemarla en la estufa, lo que crea un ambiente acogedor. Hay algunas posibilidades de viaje interesantes alrededor. Mary es una persona agradable, muy habladora y de gran corazón. El trabajo depende de la necesidad del momento, trabajo, simple, algo sucio, y creo que podría coordinarse mejor.
