Description
I live in a village in the south of Belgium. My house is close to beautiful woods and 25 kms away from the city of Namur, we share a big ground with the family of my neighbours, in which we grow a permacultural project in the backyard (1ha), growing vegetables and a small food forest ! This project is run by a small organization, Humus asbl, in which we give gardening workshops,especially for disadvantaged public . We are very willingfull to share experiences in this field !

You could participate in some activities within the local community meetings, workshops. We also like walking in the woods or the countryside. You will learn some ecobuilding and permaculture skills. French is my mother language, I also speak Spanish and English.

The main work would be helping in the garden of Humus association, with light tasks to improve the place. This will include gardening but also DIY services.

Accommodation
We have a guest room within the house. I eat mainly vegetarian meals, but sometimes some meat. We try to eat local and bio food.
We have internet connexion but the connexion is usually quite slow, so you will be requested to share the connexion with the other members of the family.
What else ...
On your time off, you may go for walking or cycling. You also can visit the nearest cities: Huy, Ciney and Namur where there are some cultural activities like cinemas, theatres, shops, etc. To go to those cities, the only way (except the car) is to take the bus (10 kms for the nearest railway station). They pass 4 to 5 times a day. But I can always drive you If needed.

I spend a fortnight helping to complete renovations on their house and preparing Corrine's permaculture garden for the winter, learning many things along the way. In this time they showed me how to attach boards to a ceiling and plastering, as well as fitting wooden flooring.… read more
