📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will help to run a forest kids club, local cafe, local markets, and to organise any other community events or community related tasks.
This volunteer will spend 2-3 days per week in the local forest kids club as a assistant of the teacher. The kids club
is unofficial project run by the local community with around 15 children and one main teacher.
It starts at 9 am and finishes at 3pm. This volunteer will assist our main teacher to prepare the program for children and to
carry out their basic needs. The other days he will help with other local projects such as helping with running a local cafe, helping with organising local markets, helping in the permaculture garden and many other interesting projects.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The Sekier farm house is a 150 years old stone building which was some 20 years ago renovated with clay plaster, wooden floors and wood-fired stoves. The kitchen and bathroom have running water from our nearby well. The bath room has a wood fired shower, the toilets are composting long drops outside. Inspite of trying to get back to the basics, Sekier is equipped with modern devices that we just consider very helpful - a library with internet, a laundry machine and electrical fencing, to name a few. The closest bus stops are about 30 mins walking distance from Sekier.
