    Description

    We are a Swiss/Zimbabwean couple with two boys (8 and 1,5 years old) living in a Village, 60km from Harare. It is a quite place along the mountain and if you are a naturelover you will love our place. We live a simple life without electricity, we use solar. This is a place to learn the traditions and culture of the people of Zimbabwe.
    We have a borehole which provides us with clean, pure water and in our garden we grow diffrent veggies and herbs.We are also into baking, so we definately need help with baking. We are building up the place by ourselves using natural materials we have around. We welcome any help it can be on construction, cooking, teaching, babysitting, gardening.
