I'm so sad that I have to leave earlier due to my emergency situation. This place is so perfect, living in the nature with all the lovely plants and animals.

P'Lele is the best! He's so friendly and very kind. I wish I could go back there again and stay longer next time!

See you again ka!

Would loved to have stayed at the village longer but unfortunately I had to move on due to flight arrangements. The other volunteers I met at the village made my time there, I also fell in love with the dogs and chickens! It’s a beautiful little village, Lelly and Cat have some great ideas and are very welcoming, interesting, and happy people.
