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!❤️🙌

I had a great time in Leicester and at the project. The cafe is great and the costumers are very gentle and patient. Also the team in there is really polite and welcoming and even tough I stayed for a short time, I could feel that they cherished my presence and valued my wellbeing. The city is quite small, and the project is right at the heart of the city. Nearby you can find bookshops, pharmacy, a shopping the project and much more. Thank you for welcoming and see you next time!

Jemma, Lorraine and John , you all are amazing people .John welcomed me from first day and i felt peace during my stay. However, at night city tends to be little noisy and don't recommend to go out alone. But my experience is perfect

My experience at Nagajurna was incredible💗 I had the opportunity to learn about the project tradition, attend retreats, classes, and prayers. This experience deeply touched me, and I am filled with gratitude 🙏🪷 Thank you Lloraine, Jemma, Mel, Bea, Sarah, John, and everyone I shared each day with. The food was excellent in both quality and variety, the schedule and days off were always respected, and the location is perfect. I highly recommend this volunteer to improve your English, learn about jobs in the hospitality industry, and, of course, learn about Buddhism:) I'll definitely be back!

This volunteer experience is something special! The people are great, there's always a positive atmosphere and I felt very welcomed. All the nice and open people I've met there are surely a reason for why it was such a great time. Learning more about Buddhism makes you think and reflect about a lot of things. I can definitely recommend going there and hope to visit at some point in the future again!
