After a very very difficult year we need help in starting a new life.
As for sooo many families in the world, 2020 was one of the hardest years in the life of our family, We lost almost everything, what we loved: we had to sell our farm, sell many horses and other animals, and had to say good buy to something we thought to be our family, due to divorce.
But we still have many things: a wonderful piece of land in the Matra mountains (Matra is the highest peak of Hungary with its 1040 m, of course only a small hill in comparison:), 20 hektar big, 8 horses, 3 wonderful childrem, other animals, a house in the village and wonderful friends,
To be able to start our life again on a farm, we need hard working and willing help. The village home where we stay now is not suitable to live with animals, so we are building a small house on our land.
We are still continuing our work with socially or physically disadvantaged families and children. Not only we had a very severe year, but these families also. In the lack of schooling the children are in the streets, withour regular days, meals, care etc. So we still keep daily contact to the "slums" nearby and organise freetlme activities,
In the summer we will again organise free camps for children with very poor economic and social background. Last summer we hosted over 30 kids from ghettos with very bad housing conditions, no bathrooms, unemployment, drugs, and crime. Most of them never had the opportunity to travel or to have a vacation. Some of them experienced a shower for the first time in their lives. The actual social and political situation in Hungary worsened the social exclusion and discrimination of Roma and all disadvantaged groups dramatically. From the official site, there is no more subvention or support of NGO's to work with these problem groups - no, all these organizations are targets of hate campaigns. So we really need helping hands and caring, open-minded people with a big heart.
Budapest is only 80 km, reachable in about 60 minutes.

You wil have the opportunity to learn the country life of the real Hungary - horses, riding, animal care, farming. Budapest is only 80 km from us, very easy to reach. We offer you a language course in German as well, as the whole family speaks German. If you help us during the summer camps, you'll experience an unforgettable integration process and cultural exchange processes.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
We are looking for an international helping hand who likes to do construction works, loves children and animals - especially horses. You do not need special training or knowledge, only openness.
