  Description

  We are a family with four kids (age 3 to 14). Healthy and loving relationships between familymembers are important to us so its quiet harmonious here most of the time. After living in communitys we built up, we are now living as a family in a house in the smal village Bad Belzig. We have a big interest on environmental issues and technical and social solutions for the challanges of the modern world. Our kitchen is vegetarian, the cooked meals mainly vegan, we have no car, dont fly (anymore)...but dont worry, we are open minded and people loving, so bring yourself as you are :-)
  Right now our house is not very charming, but we started renovating it (mostly by ourselfes) to transform it to a beautyfull ecological home.
  
  We would love your help on our building site, in the garden or the kitchen. Should not become more than 20 hours a week :-)
  
  We can offer:
  - 3-4 days off (or other arrangements, if you like)
  - a kind family as your hosts
  - a ticket to go to Berlin and Potsdam :-)
  - mostly organic vegan/vegetarian food
  - your own room
  
  Good to know:
  As we are a big family our household wont be neat and tidy all of the time. We are of course always here for your upcoming questions and needs and are looking foreward to meet you and learn from each other. Still you will have a lot time on your own, as our time and attention is never enough for kids, work and things to do. If you can enjoy this as freedom and time for your own interests, we are the right spot :-)

  Bad Belzig is a sweet litle town with a nice castle, a thermal bath and a couple of hiking trails in the surrounding. There are lots of interesting communitys in the area as well. Whenever you want to feel the pulse of the capital, you reach the center of Berlin by train in an hour. Johannes is grown there, so get some inside views and tipps from us if you like!
