The volunteering at the Sol de Gaia project was a wonderful experience ☀️, whether working in nature, as well as in a quiet rural area, connecting with the earth and the plants while I watched the birds and listened to the wind and the animals in the forest 🏞️. The interaction and camaraderie with the hosts (the house/Letícia) and the opportunity to interact with the children (Gaia/Sol) were very special to me ✨. The volunteering program matched the description on the platform 😌, it’s worth noting that the diet was vegetarian, which was a new and interesting experience. Ah! It’s nearby ⛰️🌊🐋🌳🏞️

Essa foi a minha primeira experiência como voluntária e não poderia ter sido melhor. a casa e Letícia são uns queridos e sua filha Gaia é uma fofura! Fui muito bem recebida por eles em todos os aspectos. Aprendi bastante sobre sustentabilidade e uma vida mais saudável e pude vivenciar dias maravilhosos em contato com a natureza. Garopaba é uma cidadezinha muito segura e linda, da vontade de ficar pra sempre! Muito grata pela experiência e por todo aprendizado. Espero voltar em outra oportunidade :)
