Help with sled dogs in British Columbia.

Area: Bretagne

We are a Franco-Canadian family of 5 living in the city of Brest, in Brittany, a 4 1/2 hour train ride from Paris, 2 hours from Rennes. We speak fluent English French, Italian, and some German. Our apartment is located right downtown, a 15-minute bus ride away from the beach, one block from the main square and main bus / tramway lines. The train / coach station (destinations including Quimper, le Conquet, Rennes) is a block away. The beach is 15 minutes away. We live close to the pubs and restaurants, and the lively Brest ports ( with boat rides to the Islands of Ouessant, Sein, Molene) are a 15-minute walk away too. If you wish to meet fellow travellers, local and foreign students, there is an international group in Brest bringing together expatriates and internationally-oriented people with mutual language and cultural interests in a spirit of shared generosity. It organises a vast choice of events including casual bar nights, language-exchange evenings, special events (BBQ, picnic) and parties.

We are a family of 6 (we are aged 39/40, kids are born 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2008). Please read the FULL profile if you want to get an answer. No Host-SPAM mails will be answered! Our project 2014: restaurating an old farmhouse and convert it into a sustainable courses centre. That means some building work, making a new floor in one room, insulating walls and ceilings, renovation works... ground work around the house, gardening/fruit/veggies processing, forestry work /fencing and wood splitting/cutting We have a running smallholding farm working with organic methods and permaculture. During the whole year there will be always some work on the farm like gardening, fruit processing etc. We have 6 goats and 5 sheep, geese, chicken, a husky dog named Barley and a cat. We're living in a very small village called Cortnitz (43 inhabitants) near Dresden (90 km away), about 200 km south of Berlin. We have a small garden (always some work there in 3 seasons...) and about 50 fruit trees. We do love cycling and being outdoor. Although we speak english and are keen to practice it we would prefer to use german language if the workawayer wants to learn it. We are militant non-smokers! :-) No smoking in the house, around the house or in sight of the house. No alcohol/drugs. Please no helpers with mental problems. We live rural. There are not much possibilities to have a big party around, so this place is more suitable for people who like it a bit more quiet and green and having an evening on the open campfire behind the house. If you want to go around one or two bicycles will be there for use or to reach the train station. We usually have only one or two workawayer at the same time as for us it is important to have a cultural exchange as well. Up to now we had as workawayers/helpex'ers an estonian family, Kaya from USA and Lucie from England (already 2 times) and Alexandra/Morgan from Australia, Alex from France (already 3 times!), Matthew from Australia, Amy from England, Gilbert from Spain (2 times), Francesca from Italy, Szymon from Poland, Juraj from Slovakia, Brendan from England, Ramona/Joshua from America, Thomas from England, Andrea also from England, Berry from Ireland and Jörg from northern Germany... Be our next workawayer! Families welcome if you have an little extra pay for the food and accomodation. We have NO INTERNET for helpers, only in emergency or for once or twice a week you can check mails during daytime in the office (no Wlan, no skype). If you want to use the internet moreoften please bring your own mobile internet, t-mobile and vodafone have best coverage here. We are not vegetarians but we are not eating too much meat (mainly our own produced meat from goats/sheep/ducks/geese - so that is limited). We dont mind if the workawayer is vegetarian as long as he/she can handle that we are not and dont expect to cook special things for her/him. Please be aware that we expect help in the household as well beside the work as this are common duties for everyone in the house (like dish washing, preparing breakfast...) without asking you every single time to do so. We try to think further then just consuming things, try to avoid unnecessary pollution of air, land, water and resources. We prefer doing things rather by hand then by machine (but we have a laundry machine, a dishwasher...). We have been to volunteering years abroad (Marie 8 month in Russia, Stefan 11 month in Papua New Guinea). We try to live with as low impact to the nature as possible. We produce our own solar energy (5 KWp), have a solar stove (for cooking during sunshine), solar heated water and do lots of other crazy things. We might not be typical germans - you may have to find out. Next train station where we could pick you up is Pommritz, next Airports Dresden, Berlin and Leipzig (trains form there). Or check mitfahrgelegenheit.de for car sharing (check for destination Bautzen).
