Je tiens à remercier Anis, pour cette expérience incroyable que j’ai vécue au sein de son oliveraie ! J’ai adoré en apprendre davantage sur les oliviers, la récolte et l’extraction de l’huile. Anis est une véritable source de savoir et m’a permis de rencontrer des personnes expertes dans ce domaine. Chaque jour, j’ai découvert de près toute la vie sociale et professionnelle qui tourne autour des oliviers. C’était une expérience profondément humaine : j’y ai rencontré des personnes formidables et j’ai vécu une parenthèse hors du temps, où l’on savoure la simplicité et la beauté de la vie. Chaque jour, je travaillais avec les ouvriers, utilisais les même outils qu'eux, travaillais au même rythme qu'eux et me donnais à 100% POUR EUX. Merci encore pour ton accueil Anis et à très bientôt !
