Goa Community Support Project

October 22, 2025by: Amelia K - Australia

Pickup was amazing and safe driving. Felt quite secure. food was very yummy. For someone who can’t handle much spice, the cook did a great job to cater to our needs. Maybe a salad but that’s just me. Outside of vol, I would relax at the house, explore around the streets to get supplies, laundry and atm. To the gym after 6pm. In free time, have a chill and look around the area a bit more as well. Such inviting environments, with the loveliest people/ children. To be able to try and brighten their day feels quite rewarding.
