My experience at the community has been truly beautiful. I was supposed to stay for one month, but I ended up extending my stay for three more weeks! I volunteered here as a yoga teacher, offering two classes per day for the guests (one hour each) and a 30-minute class for children with special needs as part of the foundation. On Saturdays, I also helped teach English and played with local children. The food is absolutely wonderful! The rooms can be warm, but they provide you with a fan, which helps a lot. Everyone here is always willing to help you with anything you need ♥️ Thank you!!

I was the videographer and I loved it! I was given three assignments/topics of reels to make, with a lot of creative freedom.
The accommodation was a bit rustic, no screens on the windows so lots of lizards and bugs entered, and my room didn't have hot water. I had to pay 500 baht for a taxi to get to the location.
The main area where we eat was super nice, the food was Amazinggg, and a great place to meet people from all around the world. It's a truly great organization, they help so many people in the community, and I felt proud to support it 💚

Lis,
Sorry you see it that way. Thanks fir the feedback. You did not mention, we upgraded your,stay to a private room, and you left after 1 week.

2x3 hours per day as a host assistant has worked fine for previous volunteers in the past, sorry it did not fit your schedule, but you did come here to help us?

We liked having you here and we are surprised to learn you found our,staff rude.
