My time at the project was amazing! It was my first volunteering experience & I enjoyed every minute of it. Toto was really nice & communicated everything very well. He showed me around the village & introduced me to the local culture. I learned a lot about the nature of the area, especially about bamboo. The hours sawing & lopping at the bamboo clomps were pretty exhausting, but also really rewarding. Mama Gloria was a real gem! She was so accommodating & went out of her way to cook vegetarian meals for me! All in all: 10/10 recommend, if you don't mind some hard physical labor. I'll be back!

È stata una grande esperienza. Lavorare con la natura, imparare sul bambù. Toto è anche impegnato con la comunità! Abbiamo trascorso un tempo magnifico con i bambini della scuola, giocando e parlando con loro.
Il cibo era anche cinque stelle! Siamo molto grati a tutti coloro che hanno lavorato per servire quei pasti incredibili!
L\'unica cosa, è che (oltre a quanto detto nell\'intervista) non ci siamo sentiti bene con le discussioni tra lui e sua madre e ci è mancato un orario di lavoro.

Before the volunteering experience, the host was warm and fun, which motivated us to come. Unfortunately, once on-site,his tone and attitude changed drastically. The work was hard, as expected, but the lack of respect and consideration made the stay difficult. We are sorry but we wouldn't recommend this experience, but we thank the host and his parents for welcoming us into their home.

Questa è una recensione giusta. Il tempo che Lea e Pedro sono stati presso algersan's è stato particolarmente impegnativo. Ho spiegato questo a loro prima e durante il soggiorno. Nota: Pedro è un ottimo lavoratore, ma ha iniziato a parlare inglese solo da sei mesi. Ci è voluta più energia e larghezza di banda per comunicare/istruire. Lea è stata molto brava a tradurre.
Apprezzo il feedback, capisco di essere umano e continuo a lavorare per dare il mio meglio.

For me, the best elements of this role were the environment and awesome natural beauty of the region, the warmth and hospitality of the family and local people, and the highly physical nature of the work required. It wasn't perfect, but I respect the willingness of Toto to confront, discuss & resolve to his best ability any issues, regardless of complexity. Any volunteers should be prepared for early starts, long & hot hours, and be flexible and open-minded. You are rewarded with Mama G's DELICIOUS (!!!) food, Papa Rick's brilliant stories, and enough free time to explore Iloilo 👍🏽 enjoy it!

The experience at the farm was all around amazing. The work on the bamboo farm was very physical but rewarding and fun !! Toto was understanding and caring with everyone's need and wants. This made it feel like a home. Moma Gloria's cooking was very tasty and all her food is fresh !! She cooks from her heart and love for sharing her food. The accommodation was really good the beds were very comfortable and all the rooms had their own bathroom. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to learn about bamboo and have a lovely family and home looking after you :)

The experience at the project farm is a really good way to learn about sustainability and farming, I learned a lot about bamboo and other tropical plants, the work is really chill and always with safety equipment. The ospitally I received is unmatched, from Toto to Mama Gloria and Papa Rick I always felt like part of the family, a big compliment to Mama Gloria for the commitment to cook always really good food for us ; the accomodation is nice with perfect bed, perfect bathroom and also hot water. The experience at the farm taught me a lot and I made good friends, I would definitely do it again

I had a good time during my short stay at the project, and gained a lot of new experiences. Escalantera is a small village located in a stunning environment. Toto and his family welcomed me into their home, they were friendly and accommodating. If you would like to experience what the countryside of the Philippines is like, learn about bamboo cultivation and processing, or if you enjoy spending your afternoon at the beach (after work or during the weekend) I would highly recommend volunteering at the project.

We had a truly wonderful time at Toto's house. We had the opportunity to learn so much about bamboo management & farming, to meet and interact with Escalantera's inhabitants and to meet with amazing fellow volunteers. I would 100% recommend staying at Toto's ! ( Mama Gloria and Papa Rick were also real angels to us 🙏)

We had a great time at Toto's. The project we have to help with is very interesting. We learned so much about bamboo! And overall, Toto and his family are amazing. We laughed a lot, and enjoyed every moment with his family. We also loved Mama Gloria's cooking. Overall, this farm experience was great, we can only recommend it. Thanks again Toto and see you soon (in Montmartre!)!
