The center was a very enriching experience, offering valuable learning opportunities and daily English practice. I gained knowledge in beverage and food preparation, especially as a barista. The team was attentive and supportive, providing meals and comfortable facilities. This experience is ideal for those seeking immersion and willing to volunteer more hours. Those preferring a flexible routine should consider the workload beforehand. Overall, I am very grateful for everything I learned and for the special moments shared with incredible people.

Dear Lorraine and John, It's hard to put into words how I'll feel leaving the project. From the very first week, I felt at home, as if I had always been part of it. I was lucky to share this experience with wonderful friends, and even luckier to meet you, Mel and Jemma. You welcomed us like your own children and gave us so much without ever asking anything in return. You made this the project a little pearl, full of warmth and love. I will never forget it. I don't like goodbyes, so I'll say “see you again” instead. I'm sure we will meet again. A big hug, Your Italian boy, Jacopo

This was my first experience ever as a volunteer and it was truly wonderful. From the care and kindness of the people at this the project to the work that we had to do. I worked with an amazing team who now became such close friends. Working at the cafe also gave me an opportunity to gain new skills like communication with cafe customers, preparing the food, making coffees as well as working in a team. I also want to thank Lorraine, John, Mel and Jemma for always treating us like we are family and I truly felt like at home here. This experience will be unforgettable. Thank you all so much!❤️🙌
