In addition, our house has various corners where there are large gardens. You could help us with the upkeep of our private house and garden so that it looks perfect and welcoming.

    ANIMALS: We have three dogs (Tita, Ouro and Luna), 8 Vianese cows, a mare (Prata) and Galician sheep which must be cared for and cared for with love.

    WHERE WILL YOU STAY? We have a house next to ours for our volunteers in which you will have a private room. So it is important that you keep your space and common areas tidy and clean.
