Program Details

PLEASE, READ THE PROFILE

I really need your help.
And that's the point. To help someone that it needs it.
What I need from you is help to repair the walls, the roof, the irrigation system, sowing, pruning, harvesting, reparing the cars, etc.
Its construction civil work and rural work.


Activities & Shift

You should be physically robust to be able to help me.
Here on the farm, the main theme is hard work.
We have to dig, dig and dig and move soil from one place that will become a lake and dam to another side in front of the house to create a wall to prevent the house from collapsing.
For this, we will work with pickaxes, shovels, wheelbarrows, hoes, etc.
We will do construction work with cement, paint with lime, etc.

Assiste me with everything I need
I need help to clean some garbage, cook, repair walls, working with ciment, paint, scan some documents, repair bycicles and so on.
Just help me in the most variable kind of tasks of my day to day life.
Some tasks can be hard and dusty.
When you apply, just tell me what you would like to do and I'll try to give you that kind of work but remember that the priority will be my needs.
Very importante. If you start a task, finish it and ask me what else can you do. If you take something from one place, put it back to the proper place.
More importante then how many hours you will be working it's the tasks that you do and how do you do it.
Some times tasks maybe take more then 5 hours, others times less wich mean that you need to ask for the next task.
If you stay by my side assisting me in doing something that you like, consider it as we knowledge exchange, not work.


Rules

-- Organization and cleanliness are non-negotiable.
The house where we are must always be organized and clean, and this has nothing to do with the length of the volunteer work or the tasks time.

No smokers, no drugs, no alcool.
HAVE FUN!

Don't leave a task halfway just because your working hour is over. - that's not respectfull.
When you finish a task, came to me and ask me for more.
Don't use headphones or mobile phone except at your free time and even so, remember that headphones cut comunication and connection with people.
