Description
At our Centre we save birds, especialy geese but also dogs, cats and pigs. All animals, birds aswell guinea pigs, pigs, cats and dogs are saved from death. The Centre which is à former farm used for the regular food and meatproduction and has been turned into à peacefull place for all living beings. A place where we give home to over 500 animals and we manage to take care of with all the vollunteers! A place where we save animals instead of eating them...
We respect life from all living beings fromout a buddhist way of living. We work together for à better wellbeing for all sentiant beings while we work for the animals or while working in the (permaculture) garden where we try to grow vegetables for own use in the kitchen.
We hope we may welcome you to help in the gardens or to help with taking care for the animals. We only accept requests when your profile is complete and a picture of yourself is attached. To make sure you won't be disappointed in the stay on our centre, we want to point on the fact that our terrain is alcohol and drug free. Smoking is only allowed on a special place.
We hope to welcome you!

The help required, is help with gardening (except in winter), and during all the year we search for help with taking care of the animals. Feeding the animals, taking care of a fresh 'bed' of straw, cleaning up and many other things to do on our farm and in our Centre.
