My time there was amazing!☀️ Let's be clear, is not a vacation, you are expected to work with commitment and responsibility, but once you do so, you will be hundred percent rewarded with nice family time, with a lot of opportunity to learn about Brasilian jiu jitsu and healty lifestyle and with nice and caring people around you. Also, the atmosphere is even better thanks to the presence of other volunteer, and people like Lilan, which will make you feel surrounded by good friends! I would totally recommend this experience if you are willing to try something new and to improve himself! 🥋👊🏻

Having Anna stay with us for 5 weeks was an absolute delight. Upon her arrival, Anna was quite shy, a trait that only made her journey with us more special as we watched her gradually open up, revealing her vibrant personality. She seamlessly blended into our family dynamic, providing invaluable help with housekeeping and taking care of the kids.

What stands out most about Anna is not just her reliability and diligence in the tasks she undertook but her exceptional character. She is incredibly kind and considerate, always looking out for others and ensuring she contributes positively to the household. Despite her initial shyness, Anna possesses a wicked sense of humor that emerged more and more each day, bringing light and laughter into our home. Her ability to make everyone smile, even on the most challenging days, was truly a gift.

Beyond her helpfulness and humor, Anna displayed a deep level of empathy and understanding, always respectful of our family’s needs and privacy. We were particularly impressed by how, despite her shyness, Anna connected so genuinely with our children. She approached their care with a mix of fun and responsibility, earning their trust and affection with her gentle presence.

To say we would be delighted to have Anna stay with us again would be an understatement. She has left a lasting positive impact on our family, blossoming from a shy visitor to a cherished member of our household. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone lucky enough to welcome her into their home. Anna, you will always have a place with us, and we eagerly look forward to the possibility of welcoming you back in the future.

Sin dudas el mejor voluntariado. Me volvieron a recibir en la familia justo cuando estaba atravesando un mal momento y fue lo mejor que me pudo pasar, ya que estar allí con ellos es lo más similar a estar en casa. Es un lugar del cual no te queres ir. Las tareas son simples, ya que tenes que mantener el orden y limpieza de la casa/gym como si fuera la tuya propia. Gracias a todos, y una mención especial al pequeño Jaz, que me saco las mejores sonrisas y fue una muy buena compañía estos días. Gracias familia!

It's with immense pleasure and gratitude that I write this review for Bianca, a truly remarkable individual who dedicated her time and efforts to our charity program aimed at teaching children in public schools. From the moment Bianca joined our team, her warmth, dedication, and passion for helping others shone brightly.

Bianca's commitment to our cause was evident from day one. She approached every task with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of the children we serve. Whether she was assisting with lesson planning, leading activities, or simply lending a listening ear to a child in need, Bianca's kindness and compassion were unwavering.

One of Bianca's greatest strengths was her ability to connect with the children on a personal level. She possessed a natural rapport that instantly put them at ease, creating an environment where they felt comfortable expressing themselves and exploring new ideas. Bianca's patience and empathy were instrumental in building trust and fostering a sense of confidence among the children, many of whom faced significant challenges both in and out of the classroom.

In addition to her exceptional interpersonal skills, Bianca also demonstrated a strong aptitude for teaching and mentorship. She took the time to understand each child's unique learning style and tailored her approach accordingly, ensuring that everyone had the opportunity to succeed. Bianca's creativity and resourcefulness were evident in her engaging lesson plans and interactive activities, which captivated the children's interest and sparked their curiosity.

Beyond her contributions to our program, Bianca's positive attitude and collaborative spirit made her a joy to work with. She approached every task with a can-do attitude and was always willing to go above and beyond to support her fellow volunteers and staff members. Her infectious energy and optimistic outlook were a constant source of inspiration to us all, motivating us to strive for excellence in everything we do.

In conclusion, Bianca's tenure as a volunteer with our charity program was nothing short of extraordinary. Her unwavering dedication, compassionate nature, and exceptional leadership skills left an indelible mark on our organization and the children we serve. We are profoundly grateful for her invaluable contributions and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a passionate and dedicated volunteer. Bianca is not just a wonderful volunteer; she is a shining example of the difference one person can make in the lives of others.

I had an amazing time here! It was really fun to spend time with & get to know all the volunteers and the family. The housework is not hard and going to the schools in Gibraltar was also really fun (ESPECIALLY the motorbike rides there!!!!). One of the things I appreciated most was how many opportunities were provided to participate in the Jiujitsu course, workout classes or just training in the gym on your own. It's very motivating to see everyone be so passionate about Jiujitsu and also working out in general!

Fue mi primer voluntariado y la verdad que fue la mejor elección, desde que llegas te brindan tu lugar y espacio super cómodo, la comida que realizan es excelente en sana y rica. No me arrepiento en absoluto de elegirlos, estoy completamente agradecida y espero volver pronto ya sea como voluntaria a saludarlos, ya que dan ganas de volver siempre!! Gracias eternas por tenerme paciencia con el inglés, por los momentos y risas compartidas, excelente familia, tanto humana como perruna, ya los estoy extrañando!

The tasks are daily things and not difficult to do, the classes are incredible and every moment you learn something. But this volunteering is not about the tasks.This is an incredible family who took me in as part of their family! They encouraged me to start training again, taught me jiu-jitsu and the importance of a good diet, all in a light and loving way. I'm very grateful to all of them for the beautiful moments, outings and lessons I'll certainly carry in my heart!If you are willing to seek personal improvement and enjoy being in family, I really recommend them. I hope to return one day.

My assignments included helping 3x a week with BJJ classes for children and, for the completion of the hours, they looked for our qualities to help in the best way possible. I helped with audiovisual and social media, which was great for both parties. Working remotely was a bit of a challenge with the intense routine, but nothing that a talk with them didn't solve. About this routine, they offer a lot of activities on the side, such as special HIIT and BJJ classes, being a great place to stay healthy and learn new things. The family was receptive and friendly, I would recommend the experience!

My job was to teach children, 3 times a week. Stacie and Sean tried to provide an experience in line with my current profession to complete the rest of the weekly hours, which was great for me, I was able to help with the restructuring of the website, I was able to learn new skills and increase my portfolio. The routine is very intense, with many activities, which in my case, working remotely, was a little difficult, so I talked to them and they were understanding. I was able to maintain healthy and learn Bjj. The family welcomed me and treated me very well 🥰

I couldn't go anywhere without the help of the family so I was stuck in the house. They didn't really include me so I felt very lonely. I haven't had much sparetime because even after my 5 hours of work they wanted me to do general tasks for them. I always tried to do my best but it was never enough and they kept complaining about my work in a disrespectful way. I didn't feel comfortable around them because I had the feeling they were always judging me. I didn't learn anything about the right nutritional diet or sport but they only said rude comments about my eating habits.

It must be stated clearly that the challenges we faced during your stay were not minor but significant. Despite the initial positive impression, we observed a consistent pattern of under performance and disregard for the responsibilities assigned to you. Our program is designed to be dynamic and requires a high level of engagement and commitment from all participants. Unfortunately, your efforts fell short of these expectations.

The issues were not limited to a lack of initiative in completing tasks but extended to a noticeable disregard for the quality and timeliness of your work. Such behavior not only undermines the values of our volunteer program but also impacts the well-being and experience of the entire community. Despite repeated feedback and guidance, there was little improvement, indicating a reluctance to adapt and contribute meaningfully.

Moreover, your approach and attitude towards the shared responsibilities and community living were concerning. The perception of arrogance and an unwillingness to fully integrate and cooperate with other members of the household created unnecessary tension. A community thrives on mutual respect, collaboration, and the collective efforts of all its members. When these principles are not upheld, it disrupts the harmony and productivity of the entire group.

Upon your application, it was noted that you did not possess any fitness qualifications, with your experience limited to dancing and climbing. Despite this, you expressed a keen interest in learning about healthy eating, fitness and participating in our fitness classes offered free of charge. To support your interests, we offered free access to three fitness classes and three Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes per week. Disappointingly, after the initial two weeks, your enthusiasm waned, and despite one of our instructor's personal offer to accompany you one day to the gym for additional training, this opportunity was not embraced with the seriousness and commitment it warranted. Instead, this session was not utilized as intended, with reports of you treating this time less as a learning opportunity and more as a time to "mess around".This lack of engagement in the fitness and nutritional aspects of our program was concerning, particularly given your stated objectives and the resources made available to you. Our program prides itself on fostering a proactive and engaged learning environment. We encourage all volunteers to take full advantage of the opportunities provided to enrich their understanding and practice of healthy living.

Regarding your dietary habits, it is important to clarify that our feedback/advice given to you was in line with the principles of our Fitness and Nutrition establishment, aiming to promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle. The excessive consumption of food, beyond the provisions of three meals a day (clearly stated on our profile and discuss on a call), strained our resources and was not in keeping with the shared nature of our program. It was hoped that our guidance would be received with an understanding of the intent to maintain the health and sustainability of our community.

In conclusion, while we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, it is imperative for the success of our program and the satisfaction of all involved that each volunteer fully embraces their role and the community standards. We take this opportunity to reflect on and improve our program, ensuring future volunteers have a clear understanding of their responsibilities and the values we hold dear.

We wish you well in your future endeavors.

My time volunteering in Spain with a warm family was incredible. From cultural immersion and practical training to thrilling motorcycle rides, every moment was a perfect blend of learning and excitement. The family's hospitality made me feel at home🫶, and the unexpected motorcycle adventures added an unforgettable thrill. Highly recommend for a unique and enriching experience! 🤩

A Remarkable experience with Lilian: An Exceptional Volunteer

Our experience hosting Lilan for the past 3 months has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment she joined our team, Lilan's infectious enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to making a positive impact were evident.

Lilan seamlessly integrated into our community, quickly becoming an invaluable team player. Her willingness to take on any task, coupled with her proactive approach, significantly contributed to the smooth operation of our organization. Whether it was working with the team or engaging with the children, she consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and a genuine passion for making a difference.

One of Lilan's standout qualities was her incredible rapport with children. Her natural ability to connect with them created an atmosphere of joy and laughter. The kids absolutely adored her, and it was heartwarming to witness the genuine connections she formed. What's truly remarkable is Lilan's journey from having zero Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills to now not only helping the kids in classes but also becoming an avid enthusiast herself. Her love for learning BJJ is evident in her dedication to participating in all available adult classes. Her commitment to personal growth and sharing her newfound skills have not only inspired the kids but have also added a dynamic element to our programs.

In addition to her outstanding work with children, Lilan displayed an impressive commitment to personal growth. Her time spent in the gym showcased her dedication to honing her skills as a fitness trainer. Not only did she actively seek opportunities to enhance her knowledge, but she also shared her newfound expertise with others, fostering a collaborative learning environment within the organization.

Our family time with Lilan was nothing short of incredible. Her positive energy and easygoing nature made every moment enjoyable. Whether it was sharing meals, participating in activities, or simply enjoying downtime, Lilan added a special touch that enhanced our overall experience.

We are immensely grateful for the 3 months we spent with Lilan, and her contributions have left an indelible mark on our organization and our lives. It brings us great joy to share that Lilan will be returning in just three weeks. We are excitedly anticipating her return, and we wholeheartedly look forward to continuing this remarkable journey together. Lilan has become not just a valued member of our team but an integral part of our extended family. We wholeheartedly recommend Lilan to any organization or community fortunate enough to have her as part of their team.
