Description
I have completed a cob home and need someone to help with the finishes. We'll be doing it together. I am based in the Eco Village which forms part of the Sustainability Institute, thus you will have the opportunity to learn a bit more about Sustainability by just walking around, that is if you are interested in that sort of thing. You can also ask various questions regarding how to build a clay home (see picture of tiny home). We have a train station walking distance from here which connect you to many destinations in the Western Cape, and it takes 10minutes to get to Stellenbosch.
In exchange for your help I can provide accommodation and 3 vegan meals. If you like doing yoga and pilates we can also do this together as I do this as a daily routine.
I am also busy with a film satirical musical animation film, and need extra hands to help proliferate the crowdfunding campaign. See the video of the trailer and info here (ask for the link).
Thanks! Elsa. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will automatically experience a cultureal exhange as the eco village embrace diveristy and all the different South African cultures in South Africa are added in the village. Furthermore the village is part of the Sustainability Institute's initiatives and therefore part of the University. Travelling from the village by train is easy. The village is surrounded by a vinayard, and you are in the centre of the Stellenbosch wine route.

What else ...
The train station is walking distance from the village. It connects one to all major areas in Cape Town so you can get to tourist attractions and the beach over weekends. Volunteers will only need to be available for one weekend during the month to help with courses that we run over the weekend. This will be full day. In turn you will have off on the Monday. The other four weekends you can explore the beautiful Capelands and in Stellenbosch specifically the wine farms, cultural activities, hiking trails and various other places.
