Description
Hello my name is Yotam We are a family living in a small ecology settlement in Israel named Rotem. We live in a mud house that we built ourselves about 12 years ago.
We have 6 children and we lead a religious lifestyle.
These days we are starting to build another small earth building in the yard of our house using the construction method of the architect Nader Khalili - building with earth bags - super adobe like we built our house.
Yotam will manage the project and salaried employees and volunteers will work on it, the help will begin on August 8, 2022 and will last for several months. We will work in the morning from 6:30 am until noon.
The community in Rotem is diverse and the people are very warm and welcoming. The volunteers will be able to take part in community and family activities.
The weather is very hot but pleasant in the evening and there is a wading pool and many springs within driving distance
