    Description

    We could use some more help around 2 weeks in the month of April, maybe the first week of May. after a long winter we need to get the island ready for a new summer!

    Dutch couple have a small island called Sømliøya in the middle of Norway, with an old building used for summer camps and a small church on it. We have started to renovate the buildings in June and are having a great time with "Work Awayers" From all over the world. We would like to keep it as a project where many people can meet and enjoy.

    The buildings are old and not very fancy and are in need of a bit of painting, we were thinking about building a terrace, and cleaning out some trees on the island to create place for activities.
