Description

Apart from certain challenges of living in the 3rd world, it is absolutely wonderful and I love
I have a beautiful acre plot in Harare's northern suburbs. I live a fairly organic life growing my own fruits and vegetables, composting, vermiculture, aquaponics, raising rabbits and chickens, permaculture and food forest.
It is always great to meet people from around the globe and so from time to time I host volunteers.
I have a business making sweets and jams, and there are always plenty of projects on the go with such a big property. So, whatever your interests and talents are I'm sure we can find something for you to do!
Right now, I am specifically looking for help with building, carpentry, electrical, artists. All talents welcome, let me know what you can do…
There is always painting and other creative projects going on. Gardening, vermiculture…
