Description
Hi,
we need help because we move 5 horses to a new pasture. We need to build new fences and a shelter.
We are a group of 4 people, 3 dogs and 4 cats living together in an old farm house in a small village.
We eat vegan or vegetarian food only! No meat in our home please. If you have a driver's license it would be great.
Type of help
Gardening
Building
General Maintenance
Help in the house
Animal care
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a nice community and we are well integrated in the village so its easy for you to get in contact with people, find friends and learn German. Or we can improve our English together.
Help
Spring is coming soon and there is a lot to Do outside and in the Garden. If the weather is bad or you prefer indoor work there are rooms to renovate or to decorate. To clean the house would help us a lot too.
We have animals: horses, cows, dogs , cats. If you like you can help to feed the animals, walk with the dogs or work at the fences. We do not use our animals. What means we do not ride the horses and the cows dont give milk.
You will have enough free time to relax or explorer the landscape and near cities.
Languages spoken
German, English
Accommodation
You live in our guest room in the house. We normally eat together and often spent time together.

Dear friends from Germany,
I can only say that never in my life I felt so appreciated and as if i were in my own home as in Wetzlos, you have given me so much love, that it is indescribable from any point of view to explain such an experience.

Weztlos is a fantastic place to spend a relax and quite season. The family is amazing, Sonja lives with very nice people and very nice animals as well. I've learnt several… read more
