Spending one year (or rather, 13 months) with this family and residents, was a blessing. I was lucky to be part of Arne, Aranka, Monika, Kiyan, Romina, Mira'S life. They did treat me truly as part of the family, with every support I needed in any occasion. I helped with a variety of jobs and tasks, from gardening, to painting, renovation, and many… read more

Every task we set him he tackled with enthusiasm and he worked equally well on his own, with fellow workawayer Risa or with one of us.During his stay with us he mowed the grass, cut hedges, dug holes for fence posts and weeded the… read more

Antonio has worked for about 1 month in our community. It was quite a hard work to do, building walls with dry construction in a big hall. Antonio was working mostly with another workaway. He was a reliable and strong worker, checking out which things has to be done, when we didn't instruct all things. It was a pleasure to work with him, he was… read more

My month spent at Jantine, Douwe e Guido's house working in the vineyard, was really good. It was my second volunteering with a family from this very nice region of Holland, the Friesland.
