1.    What were the main tasks you undertook at the project? Did you have any prior experience or knowledge that helped you with these?
 
 I mainly worked in the garden.  I did a lot of gardening when I was growing up because I am from a rural area, so that definitely helped me quite a bit I think. 
 
 
 
2.    Was the explanation and support you received from the organisation adequate to ensure you could carry out your work successfully? If not please explain why.
 
 Yes.  I feel like I could have gone straight to FBU myself and been fine. 
 
 
 
3.    Would you recommend working with this organisation to other volunteers? What are the main areas of skills and interests that volunteers need for this work? Please give reasons.
 
 I would recommend this organisation to others who really want to experience farm life. 
 
 
 
4.    Was the communication and support you received from Yanapuma, before and during your time volunteering adequate? Please comment on the initial orientation session, showing you to your site and communication throughout. If not, please specify why and how it could be improved.
 
 
 Yes.  I did not attend the orientation session though, as I went to my project before it was scheduled.  But I do not think I missed anything that I needed. 
 
 
5.    How would rate your overall experience at this project?
 
 Very good.
 
 
6.   Any other comments?
 
 
 
7.    If you would like, please write a short paragraph summing up your project and experience volunteering, as well as if and why you might recommend this volunteer site to others in the future. We will put this information on our Volunteer Ecuador website, as a direct quote from you to help others learn about your experience.
