Área: Wadi Rum Village, south of Jordan in between Petra and Aqaba.

After several years working with tourists in the beautiful desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan, I've got a big experience as a guide. My name is Atayek Hamad, from the tribe of Zalabieh and i grew up in the desert where my parents are still living in. I am very proud of my bedouin culture and I like to share it with the foreigners who are going to visit my area. Very good driver, well experimented as trekking guide, I speak and understand english good enough and I want to communicate my passion of the desert to the others. I know many beautiful places where you can contemplate the red landscape of Wadi Rum, on the top of the highest mountains of the place for example. I will show you the tracks of animal drawings on the sand, I will tell you about our wild bedouin life here, I will lead you through unknown canyons and roads. We will share together the pleasure of being in such an amazing place. You can decide to sleep under a bedouin tent in a camp, or outside in the moonlight, you can decide if you prefere to visit Wadi Rum by jeep or by feet, I will adapt my tour to everyone, because each one has his own rythm, each one have different wishes. I am sure you'll spend an unforgetable moment with us in our desert.

Área: Tamil Nadu

This is a home to children who have been orphaned from parents who passed away from HIV/AIDS, or from parents who can no longer care for them. It's located near the town of Virudhunagar with Madurai the closest city. The home is funded by Blossom Trust and was built in early 2007 through kind donations of a charity in Sweden. At present, we provide a home for 20 children (11 boys and 9 girls) aged between 7 - 13 years old. Through the home, they are given a stable location; they are offered nutritious meals, attend the local government school, and are given the necessary care to help them develop into healthy human beings. We are directed under a trust fund, a non-profit organisation who addresses issues concerning women’s and children’s rights in South India.

Its initial aim was to help undeserved women and children in the Tamil Nadu province of Southern India. The organization’s initial focus was on women economic empowerment and social problems that negatively impact women. However, through our work with village communities in Tamil Nadu, it has broadened their focus to support the villages needs, especially individuals and families suffering from the stigmas of HIV/AIDs, TB or single parent families. In order to represent, protect and empower these communities, It has expanded its work to economic development, health, social well-being and environmental awareness.

Área: Languedoc Roussillon

We have finished work on the foundations for this year and will not need any volunteers until spring 2014. If you have experience or a real interest in learning how to build a straw bale house then please email me for dates for next year. Likewise the B&B is now closed for the winter and will reopen in April. We are a British couple who have been living in France for the last 10 years. We run a B&B and a large organic garden. Caroline also teaches English to students doing degrees in tourism. Francis is retired and Caroline will be in a couple of years. In the next 3 years we want to build a straw bale house and set up a permiculture garden and orchard. To do this we have bought land in the Aveyron. We are bird & animal lovers and have a rescue dog and 10 stray cats have also moved in with us. Francis runs days bird watching in the local area. We divide our time between the house and garden here and our new plots of land in the Aveyron.

Área: Midi Pyrenees

We are a French (Jean-Luc) - Australian (Annie) couple living in a small town called Cransac Les Thermes in the fabulous Aveyron department. This area is surrounded by wonderful places to visit, and boasts the greatest number of "Most Beautiful Villages of France". Working together selling French properties gives us some time to renovate, but we need some help and some muscle. Our project for the month of May is plasterboarding a bedroom and we'd love to have a couple of strong guys to help us. Accomodation (your own brand new apartment, see photo) and meals, in exchange for five days work a week. It's very relaxed here - we want you to enjoy your stay. We hope you'll stay for about 2 weeks - there are plenty of things to do here in your spare time. We speak French at home, but adapt happily to English or Italian. Bicycles available.
