  Arbeit

  First I started workaway to welcome and help travelers to find a safe space during their travels. I also want my family to spend some time with volunteers and to feel that our home is full of life, and useful to others. Nothing makes my parents more happy than helping and sharing love. So we are looking for flexible people, that will make themselves available for the family. You will also have your free time of course!
  
  Besides, our first project is to build a vegetable garden on the property.
  We have no experience ourselves, so we would like to have someone with experience for:
  
  - building a fence for the chickens
  - convert the space into workable soil
  - planting, watering, weeding
  
  We are very flexible and don't have and precise timeline so far. We just want to learn with you as we go, and things will get clearer with time. We will provide everything for you to work.
  
  We might also need help around the house here and there, help my mother cooking, feeding the chicken, nothing to complicated! We can adapt to what you know and enjoy doing.
  
  Finally, we are expecting our volunteers to be positive, caring and responsible people, with a strong attention to detail. And we want to learn as well, bring your ideas!

  We can provide coffee and tea for you breakfast. But as the food is so easy to get and cheap in Jogja, we would ask you to provide for you own meals.
