Program Details
We are looking for people who want to contribute and whose work yields results. If you have back problems or fatigue by nature, it's better to choose another place. Here we are all very active and productive. We like to do it fast and well so we can rest and save time. We only work in the morning and if it's hot, we prefer to get up early and finish before the peak heat of the day.
Activities & Shift
We start between 8:30 and 9:30 and do the more physical tasks. We have lunch around 11 (each on their own), it's a 10-15 minute break and we continue until 13:30-14:30. We work 5 hours. Afterwards we eat together at the end and have free time for a walk, a nap or, in our case, to finish what was left undone in the morning. Volunteers are not required to accompany us.
Rules
There are no rules; we apply common sense and respect.
