Juan is a very kind and generous man. He did everything he could to make my stay comfortable and made me feel at home. We did have some issues with communication because Juan doesn't speak English and my understanding of Spanish is very limited, but we used Google translate and I feel like my Spanish improved a lot in my short time there. He lives off the grid and heats his home and the volunteer quarters with a wood stove. There is a gas heater for the volunteer bedroom but I had issues using it so I mostly kept warm by putting hot rocks heated on the wood stove in the bed.

Se agradece, espero que poco a poco y con el apoyo del voluntariado se vaya mejorando la situación en general, de manera que cada vez se esté más agusto por aquí.
Ahora ya estoy con muchas actividades y en prioridad con la tala y poda de leña...¡¡si viene Ricardo ahora en Marzo, seguro que alivia algo los quehaceres!!
Ya le dije a Linda, que es de vida sociable y de grupo, que espero volver a verla cuando esté el proyecto mas avanzado.

Mi estadía en Velilla fue expléndida, haber tenido la oportunidad de conocer a Juan y su perspectiva respecto al proyecto fue algo que cambió mucho mi manera de ver las cosas, para bien y en múltiples sentidos. Además, la gente del pueblo fue muy amable y tuve la oportunidad de visitar los alrededores también. Me hubiera gustado poder colaborar más con las actividades, pero espero que el proyecto reciba más apoyo, no lo pensaría más si estás considerando formar parte. Muchas gracias por todo, Juan.
