An absolute unforgettable experience that I miss already and look forward to making more memories in the future through it here... I'm grateful that I got to immerse in it all, yet to be part of such passionate folks. Until next time again, keep up the inspiring work🫂

It was a fun experience, we learnt a lot about the culture and the people that live it Ghent. The accommodation was really cozy, being located next to the river, as well as being warm. When we first arrived there wasn't a welcoming vibe and was quite awkward (nobody was smiling). Until a woman came over, who was really welcoming hee name was Min. We were on kitchen duties, and it wasn't organised. Also, the accompdation was located very far away from the place (30 min drive) and we weren't told that we didn't have transport on the last day, which we waited 2 hours before getting told this
