Our stay at the home was unforgettable. Erwin and Josiane warmly welcomed us into their home. Tasks were manageable, and we enjoyed a great balance between work and leisure. The diverse group of volunteers made our experience wonderful. The quality of food, accommodation, and atmosphere ensured a memorable stay. We highly recommend the home for volunteering. Erwin ensures a fantastic experience, including exploration of the island. Trips to Las Palmas and tours around Gran Canaria made our stay unforgettable. Thank you, Erwin and Josiane, and to the wonderful team we met!

Erwin and his mother Josiane are lovely people and the best hosts. Erwin was always friendly and fulfilled our desires. Together we visited a few places on the island and had a lot of fun with him. The work was good and the hours respected. We were able to work independently because Erwin leaves a lot of freedom. Additionally, he showed us some of his cooking skills and taught us a lot of things about ice cream. We met other volunteers and spent a very nice time at the home! Thank you Erwin and Josiane and everyone we met!

Erwin and his mom always tried their best to make us feel comfortable. He would take us some places around the island and cooked many times for us. The tasks were a lot around construction and cleaning.
