Description
*️*️*️*️FULL IN AUGUST*️*️*️*️
Hello there workawayers !
I'm Murielle and I invite you in my home, in Breilly, Northern France. Breilly is a small village located 20 minutes from Amiens with a very good connection by public transport. Amiens is the fourth largest municipality in the Haut-de-France département in terms of number of inhabitants, but especially the number one inscribed in UNESCO's heritage. Amiens is famous for its Notre-Dame Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic art and one of the largest cathedrals in the world. Nicknamed the "Little Venice of the North" because of the numerous canals that cross it and the hortillonnages (set of floating gardens covering 300 hectares), Amiens offers a rich heritage and picturesque districts, witnesses of a bimillenary history. The contemporary image of the city is strongly linked to three activities that radiate beyond its borders: its status as a historic capital of Picardy, the importance of its university and the vitality of its cultural life supported by infrastructures and Events of national scope.
I have been married for 15 years and I have 2 girls aged 23 and 19 (almost 20) but they don't live at home during the school year. My youngest daughter got a student job for July and August in a nearby town so she will be at home for summer.
I am looking for volunteer (s) to help me in the garden and at home because my husband is in a handicap situation and my daughters are not always available to be able to help me.Types of help and learning opportunities
