Beautiful opportunity, I loved getting to know more about the mountains and nature, the view is charming. An hour to the center of Madrid, but it has a perfect waterfall and you can walk around quietly and tasks are quiet. I highly recommend it, beautiful experience.

This was such a beautiful and much needed experience. The sense of community here and belonging is indescribable. Here I've been met with many beautiful souls and new friends. The work is not too demanding for what you get in return. So worth it! What a beautiful way to learn about the area, eat healthy food and meet new people. I would love to come back at some point in time in the future. Thank you Eugenia and the staff of the project for everything 💓😊

The volunteering experience was great. The location, the place and the views are fantastic. The hosts were helpful and friendly. There was enough time to travel and see the surrounding towns. So overall, greatly recommend!

The volunteer experience made me feel a better person. Everybody takes part of tasks, and become part of a family. It was a great occasion for me to build awareness about working responsabilities, practicing a new language and experience emphaty with other travellers. I'm grateful for my experience and wanna say thanks to everyone that contributed to it. I'd recommend doing volunteering here 100%

This was such a beautiful space and experience! The mission of Kadampa was so inspiring! Being in the mountains was very restorative, and we met the loveliest people along the way. Thank you for the experience!

Beautiful location in the Spanish mountains, and the ambiance is very nice. If you are curious to learn about modern Buddhism in a calm environment, it's a good opportunity. In the beginning there were some communication issues, but these were resolved. Tasks are easy and pleasant.

It was a great experience. I got in touch with nature, found calmness and peace, and got to learn about Buddhism. The people were great and tried to communicate even if some didn't know English. Other than that it was great meeting other volunteers!

Our host, Kelsang Chodzom, and her team were welcoming and led by example: everyone at Kadampa works very hard to make the center the best it can be, and they are indeed a dedicated group. That said, I had a lot of flexibility and agency in my assignment (photography and videography), and the Kadampa team paired me up with another awesome Worldpacker (Victor Hugo, master of Social Media and Travel Posting) so that I had enough support to do what I needed.

Thank you for your help at the center and for this lovely message for the team! We’re very glad that your experience has been positive! We hope to see you again soon! Good luck and a big hug!
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
