Projekt mit Kindern in Sachsen
Beschreibung
We are an autonomous house project that provides rent-free live/work space for its members, as well as services to the neighborhood. We have just opened a bar/restaurant/take away that is hosting educational events about alternative house projects, financial crisis, the money system, banking system, alternative currencies, gift economies, alternative education and day care, healthy & local diet, royalty free music, sustainable living (heating, energy, water, compost, compost toilet, insulation, practical recycling), less politics - more doing. We also host small concerts with free musicians.
We offer food and lodging (& Internet wifi) in exchange for a 22 hours week, week-ends and German holidays excluded).

Arbeit
We need help in the kitchen: We offer vegan fast and slow food and need help in the kitchen: chopping, preparing, service and cleaning. (Btw: For longterm, we are looking for a vegan chef who is interested in moving into the house and earn a living.)
There are 3-8 volunteers with us at a time. Long stays (3 weeks+) have priority over short stays, since training and introducing people to the house takes time. Families are welcome.
We know from reading your profile that you are open-minded, responsible, and hard-working. You love traveling and learning about other cultures. You don't have much experience, but you are a quick learner. If you'd like to send any other info about yourself, we'd be grateful!
****Please let us know if it is okay to share your profile with other volunteers whose stays would overlap with yours. We vote on bringing new people into the house.*****
Lastly, this is an alternative house project. We're asking the most basic questions about our food, our money, our energy, everything. It's simply not the right place for religious or corporate people. If you are worried, please ask for our website address first. We are happy to provide you information about the house.

Unterkunft
There are five rooms on the top floor, which are partially renovated, but furnished and clean. Normally there is one person per room, but friends may share a room with three beds. In the winter, heating is carried out with Victorian-era furnaces. There is one bathroom, also in some intermediate state of renovation. There are three public WCs on other floors. There are three kitchens. We are using the Bar/Bistro as our living room/lounge.

About the house:
We live in a beautiful house constructed in 1885, 15 minutes from the center of the city. We found it three years ago, abandoned, trashed, and selling cheap. Electricity and water services have been restored for the most part. About 80% of the house is now habitable. The house project includes an events space, café, day-care, workshop, storage spaces, three kitchens, language classes and plenty of bedrooms.
Leipzig is graciously endowed with many parks, beautiful architecture, and is surrounded by many lakes. Leipzig has an excellent tram system, and for better or for worse, you have excellent access to it from our house. Our neighborhood Lindenau, and Plagwitz, to the south, are Leipzig's alternative quarters. We participate in events hosted by allied house projects and we host events ourselves.
When you write us, it would be very helpful if you answered the following questions:
1) From when to when are you available?
2) how long would you like to stay?
3) is it OK to send your profile to house members and other volunteers, whose stay might overlap with yours, for voting?
Thank you very much!

My Photo Album
At Rockzipfel, children can socialize and play while their parents are working nearby on laptop and phone. The Sittenkammer is used for lectures, meetings, workshops, and parties. Damaged or outdated infrastructure is slowly being replaced, making more more of the house usable. We battle leaks in the roof and crumbling bricks in the basement. So far, so good.

Thank you Johanna for hosting my first Workaway experience and for your feedback. It was great to learn about the really interesting goals of the House Project and to meet the friendly and helpful locals and friends of the house, as well as the other volunteers. The project's transition to concentrating on the newly opend cafe, was a good reminder more
I had an absolutely fantastic workaway experience ! Leipzig is a great town and the project itself is even better! Johanna, Tony, Sven - you guys are an inspiration and I wish you all the best. Keep in touch!
It was great having Rose in our house. We could rely on her help and had a lot of fun talking. Her style and humor is pretty unique and therefore much fun. She helped us wiring the attic - now we have light up there! We also put beds together and fixed the new helper and guest rooms. Although she claimed having no experience, she was a very good more
