Program Details

At the moment we are 5 people, 3 cats and 2 dogs living at our facilities. We hope you will help us with the daily activities, 4 hours each day, from 9:30 to 13:30, Monday to Friday, working in the garden, cooking, preparing preserves, making repairs in the house, etc. But above all, what we want is that when you leave Savia, you have learned our values as a project. In addition, we provide a workspace and a multipurpose room, so there will be enough space to have a good time, learn, share and take care of each other. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. It is important that you understand that although we will guide you in carrying out the tasks, you may have to do them on your own, since we all have our jobs and other commitments.
