Description
We are a couple Kadir and Silvia, living in the mountains with our 10 dogs and 8 cats. This is our private shelter, as co- founders of a charity organization which helps spaying and rescuing animals in the village, we have a lot of work to do and therefore we need help with our shelter, general maintenance and garden.
ABOVE THAT: We search for two very responsable persons (couple in the best case) who can take care of the animals and house from September to October while we travel. Requirements: Animal lovers (cats and dogs) and very responsible and would be perfect if one of both are handyman as there is always something to do in the garden or arround house. Our priority are the animals and the house so we need only persons who can asume this responsability for 1,5 month and would love to stay in a quite place in harmony with the nature. More details per Whatsapp.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can learn about gardening and plants. How to deal with many animals at the same time and help with animals and local people. We organize spaying campaigns regularly and as far as you are with us, you can help on such an event. We are a mixed couple (Bolivian & German) and we can help you with practicing Spanish.
Help
We have plenty of work to do. Help us with the dogs (prepare their food, feeding, playing, cuddling, cleaning). Care for the dogs and cats when we have to go to the town. Help us with our activities with the animals in the village, feeding stray dogs/cats, helping in spaying campaigns which our place organizes (we are co-founders of the organization). If you like to help animals and have a good vibration, then our home is the right place for you.
We also have a garden and have a lot of plants, herbs etc. which needs care and water. We have bought this land and it was empty. We have started reforestation and planting fruit trees. Our house is an ecological farm and we have a dry toilet and water is very precious. We need some help with small construction projects, digging or craft works. If you like to be in the nature, 9 km from the village, then you are on the right spot here. We have the view on El Fuerte Ruin and is a quiet and wonderful place at almost 2.000meters altitude
