Program Details
The volunteers would be picked up from the nearest bus stop, namely Ramponio Verna or San Fidelle and driven to the villa, where they will be show around the Villa.
Once they are settled, and have expressed / chosen the type of work they are interested in (which would have been agreed/ discussed before hand), we can discuss what is realistically achieveble, highlighting the necessity for their own personal health and safely and of those around them. We will provide 3 meals that meet Worldpapcker requirements.
We will also brief them to the area and how to best enjoy being there noting what to avoid (it’s a very small quiet and safe Italian village for both women and men).
Finally we would like to spend some time to learn more about them, their culture and language if they are willing to share that.
