This experience is just amazing! Gaëlle and I stayed here for almost 2 months. Usually there is a big amount of volunteers around and the fluctuation is quit high, so you get the chance to meet people in the middle of the shroma-jungle. There are lots of different tasks to do and you will learn and help at the same time. The food has to be… read more

Denise is an open and happy person! She always helped in everything, cooked well, worked on heavy construction and garden works. She is strong and at the same time very gentle and kind person. Denise speaks good Russian, and we were interested to help practice the language.
We hope that Denise will come to us again! thank you for your help!
