    Description

    Hello,
    We are a Sicilian-German family consisting of Tano (40), Doro (36) and Josch (almost 3). We transfered to Sicily in june. We have bought a property by the sea there (750 m). We want to open an eco-project with the possibility of camping. The property has been abandoned for years and we need to rebuild it from scratch. Work with the excavator is finished. Right now we search also people who are artists. Like graffiti, or good painters wo color our walls.
    We speak Italian, German, English and a bit of Spanish. We understand spanish. The experience shows, thats easy to communicate with spanish talking people.

    Help

    We need help cleaning up the property. This means removing weeds and working with the brush cutter. Several fences must be erected and a chicken coop. You can also learn a lot about construction things. We always build something.
    We also need help renovating the house or childcare.
    Most of the time the work is physical. You need some kind of fitness. When the weather is bad in your worktime, be flexible to do another time or help in the household.
    It's good to have two persons here. When you are friends or a couple it would be perfect.
