Carry out various repairs and constructions. The nature of the tasks depends on your skills and will largely be agreed beforehand. (E.g. we won't ask you to do electrical work unless you have the know-how.)
If you're a skilled handyman and good worker, we can pay you a bonus (a financial contribution towards your travel expenses).
Perhaps you will work alongside local workers, perhaps on your own. You definitely need to bring relevant skills. You will probably be able to learn additional new skills.
The focus is on environment-friendly approaches, e.g. using reclaimed materials, building structures for a permaculture garden, facilitating water management, creating swales, connecting solar panels.
You will have a nice big guest room with a large bed (suitable for a couple). The bathroom is shared. Food is basic and mostly vegetarian.
You can choose your own schedule, the days and times you want to work, as long as you give us 25 hours per week. (Chance to work more hours for extra cash.)
We'll agree some of the activities before your arrival, but you'll also work on whatever comes up during your stay.
The location is an authentic Bulgarian village near Elhovo in the Yambol Province. It's rural but not isolated. You need to make your own way here (there are buses). We are in southeast Bulgaria, and this placement is practical if you go to or come from Turkey.
