Program Details
Our volunteer program is a work exchange for people who genuinely enjoy hands-on projects and physical work.
We work around 4–5 hours per day, 5 days a week. Tasks include painting, building furniture, basic concrete work, tiling, gardening, and moving materials. Some days are physically demanding, so a good attitude and energy are important.
We are looking for proactive people—you don't need to be told every step, you see what needs to be done and help.
In exchange, we offer a comfortable place to stay (private/shared rooms ready), access to a kitchen with basic groceries, and a unique environment in the mountains. The house has beautiful terraces and is just 4 minutes walking from a waterfall, perfect after work.
This is not a holiday-style volunteering experience. It's for people who want to contribute, learn, and be part of building something real.
👉 When applying, tell us about your experience with painting, building, tiling, or physical work. Applications without this will not be considered.
