  Descripción

  Hello from beautiful Benin
  I am a beninese guy who loves traveling and enjoying new experiences in different countries
  am living and running my dream project in the beautiful city of Cotonou and will be very happy to welcome you here, help you explore the rich culture and history of my country with authentic way.
  few years ago I started my first guest house in Cotonou that welcome tourists from all over the world and organise for them live music shows in he rooftop bar made by different musicians from Benin, other countries in west Africa and also western countries.
  Today am not managing the guest house but am still organizing the rooftop music shows to share our African vibes with travelers and visitors in Cotonou
  I have also 2 other spaces with different vibes and energy but for the same goal to make a space for relaxing and enjoying the west African vibes and gather people from all of the world to enjoy beninese food and activities like games "volley ball" and music
  I work with 11 paid workers: Nicole the manager of the bar and the bech space, Lea the manager of the rooftop live music bar, 9 other workers: 1 cleaner, 6 waiters, 2 bartenders

  Ayuda

  I will be happy to meet travelers who want to help in my projects by creating art work for decoration or helping in organizing weekly even about international food experience or playing music in one of our spaces. I also need someone who can help with doing photography, videos (reels) for my Instagram pages (even with phone camera)
  the volunteer is not supposed to help in serving or preparing food during the working time of the bar, it would be helpful if they can help help with communication with visitors, or playing instruments in the music live events (if they are musicians and if they cannot but still like music they can do karaoké aswell)
  we also want to start doing camping and food exchange events and they can help if they like cooking or decoration of the camping area
  the volunteer can also help by writing blogs about Cotonou and authentic activities we can offer like experiencing a day with a local fishermen or attending a voodoo festivals.
  the best thing that the volunteer can do is to feel free doing what he likes because in the end our project is created by beautiful energy of everyone who passed by Cotonou

  food will be shared with other volunteers or we will eat all together in our bar kitchen and you will get free cold drinks from the bar.
  
  all the volunteers can come anytime of the day and eat in the bar or the beach space, I also have a partnership with a local restaurant so that volunteers can go there and enjoy varieties of local food and they can eat there 2 times a day
