It was our first volunteer and the experience was unique. the home is a serious social project trying to improve needy's people life. Shyam, the president ahead of it is an wonderful person with a big heart, strong personality and great ideas and she got us closer to the community, meeting great people and having delicious food 😜. We strongly recommend everyone to join YH team and help on this amazing social project.

Being part of the home was one of the best experiences I could have had during my first volunteering period. The project is serious and, apart from the beautiful history it has already written, it has a great and bright future. As well as immersing myself in the local culture and learning about soil cultivation and gardening, I was welcomed with open arms by the project's president, Shyam, a creative, strong woman, full of ideas and deeply welcoming. The other volunteers I met are dedicated and have also embraced the cause.

We had a great experience with Shyam, flexible hours and always asked volunteers for their opinion on any task, she made us feel important and really part of the project. I recommend this project to the Worldpackers community.

My experience with Shyam was not ideal. Expectations were unclear, and I often found it hard to get support. Shyam was occasionally unavailable, and when present, the tone was not always encouraging. There were also moments of tension within the team due to negative comments about other volunteers. Additionally, the commute from Shyam's home was time-consuming, making it difficult to manage schedules. I would recommend future volunteers to carefully consider their expectations.

Shyam is a great leader who is friendly and ambitious. She cares truly about everyone around her and she is easy to get on with. Due to circumstances beyond her control, I stayed in accommodation that was close to our site but not the most ideal due to unfortunate hosts. I do not hold this against Shyam at all though as she agrees the accommodation isn't ideal. She even offered us the opportunity to stay at her own home. The land we were working on has true potential to help the community. I do truly wish the best for the home and it's goals, keep up the great work!
