Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Our children speak only Turkish (They really need practicing English). So we would like them get familiar other cultures and languages so that they can broaden their horizons. Workawayer(s) who wants to join us will be responsible for cleaning her/his/x own room. She/he/x should also be ready to prepare meals and tidy up the house if necessary. (The living room and the kitchen will be the common places and workawayer will not pay anything for food in the house.)
