Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Donegal is a gem in the northwest corner of Ireland. The Wild Atlantic Way really struts its stuff along the Donegal coastline. The county’s incredible scenery and natural beauty are second to none. Our property is in the heart of the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking community) and you get the opportunity to hear Gaelige.
We are happy to teach on-the-job DIY skills when possible. We also encourage individuals to show their creative flair with projects.
Aide
Landscaping and small DIY projects. We want creative minds who love nature. People with artistic talents who want to work with the environment would be ideal for our needs. Experience in recycling, repurposing, and reusing would be an advantage.
