  Description

  We are a small family - mother, two brothers a sister and a cute dog. Our father passed away six years ago...
  We live in a small agricultural settlement in the desert called Kadesh Barnea.
  We have a family business of housing units and we rent them to permanent tenants (currently there are four, three of them are rented and one is available to receive a volunteer)
  The atmosphere in our family and in the small village that we have created for ourselves inside the moshav is a very positive atmosphere, apart from our mother, the age range of all of us, including the tenants, ranges from 21 to 35, so we are good company for ourselves, sitting down in the evenings to drink a glass of beer.
  
  We have a lot of passion for DIY art projects - our mother really likes to paint on different types of pots, stones, etc. She also really like making jewelry.
  
  Yasmin, the youngest in the family, currently works in the Moshav's pool, she has the biggest heart in the family, and no one can say no to open their feelings to her.
  
  Jonathan, the middle brother, builds and maintains the entire compound. All with great love for artistic projects.
  
  Iram, the older brother, a physics student, studies most of the day.
  
  Mica, a tenant, a professional tattoo artist who cannot spend a single day in her life without devoting at least an hour to some artistic project.
  
  Dan, a tenant, an American hilarious person who came to Israel to work in agriculture.
  
  Olga, tenant, wonderful yoga teacher, and amazing conversational woman.
  
  We really want to meet some nice person with good vibes who can come and have good times with us.

  Help

  The main help that we would be happy to receive from the volunteers who will come to us in the future is mainly in the projects that we want to do in our housing unit complex.
  We are looking for volunteers who have artistic and practical sides who can join Jonathan for the projects he will do in the complex.
  
  Beyond that, we are open and ready to hear about any volunteer with a unique talent or something unique that he can share with us and even teach us. We all love to learn about new cultures from different parts of the world.
  
  In addition, help with cooking at home will also be welcomed.

  Accommodation

  Our most luxurious housing unit is available to receive the volunteer. It is a stunning complex, fully equipped, with a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and living room. Outside the lodge there is a stunning sitting area under a tree and an outdoor shower inside the tree and a wading pool

  What else ...

  In their free time, there are a variety of options that volunteers can enjoy:
  There are really beautiful places to see, view points, ancient buildings, huge dunes. There is a lot of wildlife in the area that you can meet on the side of the road.
  During the summer there is a pool in our small village.
  There is a pub and some good restaurants in the area.
  But the most fun thing you can do in the area is to sit on the balcony in the evening and listen to the endless silence that exists in our area that you cannot find almost anywhere else in the country.
