📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our partners in this project are the scouts of the tribe “Schwarzer Mustang Achental” (Black Mustang Achental). In 2014 the community gave them the compound of a former tavern as their new club house. It is located remotely in the middle of the nature, but only a few minutes from the village centre. They have already invested hundreds of working hours into their new home, called “Foxbau”, but there is still a lot to do and they are very happy to welcome international volunteers to help them.
💼 What the programme involves
There are a lot of projects planned on the compound:
Rebuilding the path around the lake and constructing a small bridge over the creek that flows into the lake, Construction of terraces for a camping ground, Demolition of small sheds, Construction of a new storage for fire wood, Building an outdoor shower, Renovation works on one of the terraces, Painting the roof, Beautifying the garden and the building, some outdoor tasks along the small creek and maybe even building a pizza oven.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay directly in the “Foxbau”. There are two rooms, which can be used as sleeping rooms, with mattresses or camp beds, toilets and a shower. You can take a look here: http://www.foxbau.eu/
