"I really like idea of the project. I’ve learned a bit of French sign language, I’ve traveled and I’ve met new friends. But the organizational issues took a long time to resolve. The house itself was good, but it lacked heating, hot water, and proper ventilation. I hope the organizers will be better prepared next time."

"The concept of the camp and festival is wonderful—you spend time with the children, watch cartoons together, dance, and have fun. I’d also like to note that the location and accommodations are excellent and comfortable. However, there were constant issues with meals; the vouchers provided for lunch were accepted by only a few establishments, which caused difficulties. The collaboration between foreign and French volunteers was also poorly organized, which gave the impression that we were surplus to requirements on the project. However, the festival participants and volunteers are friendly and incredible people, so I recommend visiting this camp."

"The hole camp was really good, great atmosphere. Just a quick note on the work itself: Most tools were in a bad state, after sharpening and tightening some screws most were ok, but axes for example would need lots of sharpening to be useful again. Also a small introduction how to use the tools could be useful in some cases."

There were a few issues with the accommodtion (only 1 sink in bathroom, showers were difficult to clean, some tents were damaged, safety shoes often had the wrong size, etc.), but we still had a good time."
