Se voluntario en una agro-comunidad en Bandipur

Área: Indre

We're Frans, Anya and Luuk, a young family from the Netherlands, who live in the middle of France. We have a goat dairy farm and we make goat cheese that we sell from the house, as well as on the local market. We do as much as we can ourselves, like the organic farming, the cheesemaking, taking care of 15 hectare of land and the building of our own home, which means we don't allow ourselves time to be bored. We're in conversion to be a certified organic farm.

A familiy run small holiday retreat , a restored ancient olive farm in Puglia. in the country but close to the sea (3 Kilometers) and the beautiful historic city of Ostuni (4Kilometers). A few years ago we built new comfortable guest accommodation where there was once animal stalls, created a pool and landscaped the gardens. We continue to pick the olives for our own use and have orange,lemon and almond trees. There are hens to provide eggs and a very small vegetable garden. This area of Southern Italy is a popular holiday destination for Italians, but is still unspoiled by International tourism. It has some wonderful ancient cities as well as some of the cleanest coastal waters in the Mediterranean.

Hi there! Would you like to help us to restore and renovate an old property in the beautiful mediaeval town of Pezenas in Mediterranean France? ABOUT YOU AND THE ROLE We're looking for fit young volunteers aged 18-30 who have enthusiasm and who are happy to do physical work. This will involve some of the following: building, plumbing, electrical, plastering, woodwork, stonework, roofing, painting. If you have some experience of any of these then that’s great! If you have little or no experience, but are an enthusiastic and happy person, physically fit and prepared to do anything, then you can learn a lot from us and our master builder on this project. TIMESCALES: We're looking for two new volunteers from NOW (5th April 2014) or in the next few weeks and we can't plan too far in advance. If you can't arrive for some months, please don't contact us yet. Minimum stay of two weeks, longer stays are welcome. Mondays to Fridays we start early but finish early in the afternoon, leaving you time to yourselves after that. Weekends are normally free, so there are lots of opportunities to explore the region. When volunteers have to move on, we need new guys to replace them. We're looking for one or two new volunteers to start from 05 April or soon after. Unfortunately we can’t accept two people travelling together, sorry, because then they leave together which can cause us difficulties in replacing two people at the same time. ABOUT US AND THE PROJECT If you got involved, you’d be able to say you were part of the restoration of a mediaeval French property and that you helped to return it to its former glory! I'm Sara, originally from Budapest, and my husband is originally from London. We’re friendly people, fully integrated into French life and our friends are mostly French. We run a small tourism business here in the Mediterranean area of the South of France. This includes things like villa accommodation, canal boat holidays, wine tours, kayaking, pleasure flights, day trips, history tours, horseriding, etc. Kind regards, Sara

My husband and I are Brits who run a high-end chambre d’hotes (B&B) / ski chalet in the pretty alpine village of Les Houches, just 8km from Chamonix Mont Blanc in the French Alps. We are looking for a non-smoking couple aged over 23 with no dietary requirements to help with the day-to-day running of the chalet in Summer 2014. In Summer, we have a variety of guests: walkers doing the Tour du Mont Blanc, climbers on courses for Mont-Blanc ascents, self-catered families, and are looking for a couple to help during the months of June, July, August and September. You must be willing and able to commit to 4 weeks and have no special dietary requirements. In summer, sometimes we are just B&B, other times we provide evening meals for our guests... and when we have self-catered guests, we basically leave them to it, apart from a mid-week clean/towel change. so there is a fair bit of variety. You should have the following skills and qualities: non smokers, high end chambermaid experience or waiting experience, have initiative, be dynamic, be sociable and outgoing yet also be discrete when appropriate. You should have excellent attention to detail, be scrupulously honest, efficient, able to work hard both on your own and as part of a team. A couple with moderate OCD with an abject hatred of dust and grime, who take pride in leaving everything cleaner than when you found it, who also love to weed and mow, would be our ideal candidates! Excellent English is a necessary at the chalet as most of our guests are anglophones, whilst anyone seeking to improve their French would be better off in a less metropolitan area of France as 50% of the people who live in Chamonix are not French, and even the locals seek to improve their English... Why would you want to come to the amazingly beautiful valley of Chamonix, where you can enjoy walking, hiking, climbing, paragliding, etc, etc? Well... Chamonix is world-renowned for its stunning scenery of mountains, glaciers and alpine pastures lands. We are just a few minutes walk from our nearest climbing wall, fishing lake, and tennis courts. Plus there are magnificent walking and hiking trails, and mountain biking routes past our door! In addition, you can enjoy rock-climbing, paragliding, golf, rafting, via ferrata, canyoning, glacial walking, swimming, and museums… Helen is a keen walker and runner, and Leighton enjoys paragliding. We both enjoy climbing and via ferrata and are both passionate about cooking - Helen was a top three finalist in the Times chalet chef competition in 2010.
