We had a great stay with Wiwi and Laura at home. They are two very cool and easy going girls, we shared a lot of good times and discussions! They helped me to make a new ceiling in a small house with plasterboard, it was difficult and hard with a lot of dust. They are very hard working. Thank you again.

We spent 10 days with Melanny and we really appreciated her generosity and kindness. We shared good times and she worked a lot with me to restore and build a small house. It was difficult because the work was in Marseille and we had to leave very early in the morning because of traffic jams. She is really a hard worker.
