Description
Hello, from the second to the eleventh of April i am looking for help in the kitchen as well as in the garden, weeding in the vegetable patches. This can sometimes be a very boring one but in fact I don't expect too much from you. Of course the garden is a biological one with elements of pemaculture too. Soil should always covered with some natural materials. Now in spring beside weeding, there is also a lot of seeding to do. And for the kitchen we can harvest wild herbes to create a salad or other healthy meals from nettles.
Maybe you like to take a walk with our pets, the shepherd dog Amor, or our mare Wiella. If you like you can explore the area by bicycle or walking, enjoying not meeting anyone.
If you like, you can spend your free time at our flat in Berlin.
At the time mentioned above there is also another workawayer, mainly caring about Moritz. But I can imagine that I he is happy about your support sometimes.
I made up my mind that the best rythm for working is about four days of working( about 25 hours), then
having some days off (3-4 days of free time) . While staying at the farm you can have a place in the caravan or in the camper van to have your own space.
Moritz is a boy with Down-Syndrom. He's 13 years old, between childhood and adolescence. His popular pasttime is playing football or riding bycicle through fields and forest. (there are bicycles for guests on the property). It is very easy to spend the time with Moritz, nothing special to do. Usually he is happy to be accompanied by sombody who likes to spend the time with him. He is good (and funny) in communication although he is not able to speak. But he is understanding your words according to the context.
If you like horses you can spend some time with them. The surrounding is very lovely and inviting to take a walk while enjoying nature. You can do this in your free time or at working time.
Maybe you also like to work in the vegetable garden. We also have a greenhouse.Types of help and learning opportunities

We are living at Brandenburg/countryside at our old barn where you can enjoy the wide countryside, just hear birds singing and cocks/ Hähne crowing from far away If you like you can spend your free time at at Berlin. I can offer to spend the nights at our flat there.
By the way - people with Down-Syndrom are very special . For them it seems to be natural to be opened up to strangers spontaneously. Spoken words or social standing does'nt count, "Downies" have their own opinion what is true.Projects involving children
