Honestly, I no longer know how to praise this family. One of the best experiences I've had doing volunteer work, and some of the kindest and most gentle people I've ever met. A family that welcomes you and takes care of you during your stay, where any situation can be talked about and resolved, and where order and respect are always present. I wish this family all the best, and we will see each other again 🤍🤍 If you want it to sound a bit more formal or more emotional, I can tweak the tone.

A very homey and family-oriented place, truly a very peaceful and friendly environment. You can explore the town, and there are many opportunities and options to learn about the culture and practice the language if you take the time to explore. The family is very calm and pleasant; they will accept you as one of their own. If you want to learn about construction and tools and are willing to get your hands dirty in exchange for a peaceful home and new friends, it's an excellent place for you. I am eternally grateful to the family and to Cecilia.

The only thing you need to know is that both Cecilia and Ronald make you feel at home, very kind and honest people. Honestly from my best volunteering experiences, I am sure that anyone who comes will feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you very much for making me feel like part of your family, more than sure we will see each other again 🫶🏼🤍

I asked Ceci to extend the stay because I felt comfortable and safe, and I had amazing conversations about everything with C; as much as possible, please try to create spaces to spend time with us, without neglecting the privacy that we all like. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to collaborate at the house, with the family and grandma—the best! I sincerely hope she recovers soon and continues traveling everywhere. I helped with the garden, because it's fun and I like the outdoors if the weather allows. Thanks to C&R, I was able to get to know Köln, an unforgettable trip in Germany!!

Many thanks to Cecilia and the family who welcomed me for 6 weeks. The stay was pleasant, the tasks were varied and I liked that. Many thanks for the dinners with the family, Cecilia for the conversations during dinner, as well as thanks to her children Valentín and Silvana. To Ronald for always being willing to teach how to use a tool as well as explain the process involved in each task:). I wish you all the best and thank you for everything!
