Description
Our Family of two, Mariam (mom) and Buka (son) are in the midst of setting up a permaculture homestead and training site close to Tbilisi (35 km).
we are working on two infrastructural projects this fall:
(1) to finish the workshop/garage : we need to plaster the walls with claysoil so that we can store stuff this winter
(2) and build a new roof over existing Guest Shed (this is where volunteers live) since there is water leakage in current one
so we are looking for volunteer (or two) interested in natural building and carpentry.
>>During 14-21 October we plan plastering walls of our newly built Garage with clay soil
>>21 October onwards (or could be slightly later) we have plans for massive Carpentry Activities. It’s an exceptional opportunity to master woodworking skills from professional carpenter; it encompasses A to Z of woodwork on the structure, from foundation to roofing. We've got professional carpenter, me and volunteer are helpers on the ground.
