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.

We appreciate Ellie’s time with us but encountered challenges with volatile behavior, food waste & disrespect toward a fellow muslim volunteer. Her actions did not reflect the words on her profile, was selective & pleasant only when things went her way. These actions did not align with our values of respect, inclusivity, and dynamics of our org & as a professional space. To avoid further conflict, we had asked them to leave earlier than agreed.

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!

Simplesmente uma experiência ótima e educativa, o trabalho foi ok, eu aprendi muito, tive a oportunidade de treinar inglês e conhecer a cidade e o trabalho incrível que toda a equipe da casa faz pela comunidade e a sustentabilidade, espero que eles possam ter mais visibilidade em seus projetos e causas, fiquei muito feliz de poder conhecer o time da casa e muito agradecida por terem me recebido. MUITO OBRIGADA !!

Esse foi o meu primeiro voluntariado. Fiz com o meu marido e foi uma experiência muito legal. Conversamos bastante com a Shyam antes da nossa chegada, ela nos explicou todas as regras da casa e das tarefas que iríamos fazer. Ficamos hospedados na casa de dois idosos, a sensação que sentia é que eu estava na casa dos meus avós, são bem tranquilos. E para mulheres tem algumas regras como por exemplo cobrir os ombros e joelhos. Durante a nossa estadia dividimos a casa com outros voluntariados da Inglaterra e da Malásia. Foi uma imersão cultural bem divertida, o trabalho não foi desgastante!
