Program Details

I ask for approx 3.5 hours work per day, usually in the mornings but I am flexible. I am also happy if you prefer to work a full day and take the following day off for example. You will have two days off each week of your choosing.
In exchange I offer a double bed in a large tent-


Activities & Shift

Daily activities include a general walk around and tidy up - sweeping the driveway, weeding the front garden, and checking the fencing. Other activities depend on the capabilities of the volunteers, but some DIY projects range from adding further irrigation, tiling a small roof to fixing a broken gate! There is also always painting and cleaning up to do.


Rules

No smoking is allowed on the property and I would prefer to welcome complete non-smokers. Quiet hours are observed after 9pm. I live here with my two children and animals so volunteers need to be considerate of this fact.
