Volunteer family that hosted Austrian choristers in 2007
We had a really nice experience with our Austrian guests. They were courteous and being with them was a real pleasure. This experience was enriching and we learned a great deal from one another. This experience is to be renewed.
Volunteer family that hosted Spanish choristers in 2007
For us, meeting young people as interesting and energetic as they were, was a real rejoicing moment. When we met, a confident and friendship relationship was automatically created. They treated us as parents, with respect and thoughtfulness!
Volunteer family that hosted Cuban choristers in 2007
We just arrived from La Havana where we spent New Year’s evening with Ovidio and Joel, from Nexus Choir. They were happy to host us at their place. From volunteer family, we became a travelling family! We had an unforgettable time in Havana!
