  Description

  We are a community-house in Denia (east coast of spain) and I m living here with my 3 Kids (germans) and a young woman from Austria.
  We are in the process of building a place for family gatherings so we need help with building and maintenance of different areas for outdoor activities.
  
  My Kids homeschoolers and we have big house and garden. There are also some chicken and many cats im and around the house.
  The house is 3 km from the sea and about 200 meters from the beautiful mountain Montgó which is also a Nature Park. You can reach the center of the town within 10 minutes by bike.
  
  We are friendly, openminded and like to connect with new people. We would love to learn Spanish, so we invite especially people with Spanish skills to be with us. Nevertheless it will be nice to communicate in either English or German.
  
  We can offer you a single room in the house, as well as fresh cooked, mostly organic vegetarian food. You could also take part by our yoga classes or woman circles or other activities here if you like.
  
  The help will be roundabout 5 hours a day. According to your skills we need help with gardening, building shelters, cooking, doing the dishes (no dishwasher!) and connecting with the kids (aged 3 to 13 yrs).
  Minimum stay is 2 weeks but the longer the better.
  
  Driving licence is appreciated but not obligatory.
  
  As we are a lot of people here, an outgoing personality is favourable. We are looking forward to spend time together and learn from each other.

  As the kids are unschooled they are with us around the clock. Mostly we need someone to spend time with them, maybe teach them arts and crafts, languages and other skills you have. Furthermore there is housework like sweeping the court, helping in the garden, kitchen work, and teaching us the spanish language.
