  What else ...

  Important notes:
  We will share and provide meals together during the week. Because we are busier during the weekend we expect the workaway to be more independent, to buy groceries and cook for yourself. Meals are also shared with the hosts, and one person cooks for everyone (as part of the daily schedule). Note that we do expect volunteers to help cleaning up in the kitchen after meals.
  
  On smoking cigarettes: we are non-smokers and we don't reallly want to host smokers.
  
  A note on clothing: as you will be staying in what is Family environnement, we ask that you dress appropriately for both. No mini-skirts or mini-shorts, leggings, tight tank tops, etc. A loose T-shirt and comfortable long pants are recommended.
  
  We do not allow any drugs or alcohol on site for several reasons. You must be okay with this if you are interested in coming here, it is an important rule for us
