We only got to spent a week helping Claudia out with her home but it was a good experience. We were a family of three and were all able to do meaningful work. There was plenty of good food and we were provided with a comfortable tent. The property is a bit out of town so is nice and quite and great to sit around the camp fire at night. But you can… read more
