I am looking for volunteers to help me with my website, people who are good with computers and know how to build or edit websites and can do online marketing for our tourist company.
Besides that I could use help with a little bit of everything - from replying to emails to desert tours, as well as help around my camp deep in the desert.
I also enjoy learning English and would be happy to help in teaching volunteers Arabic and other aspects of Bedouin life.
