Description
Hi, my name is Nika. I am a forestry engineer, my German colleague and I would like to set up a research center where we will give young foresters and similar professions the opportunity to work and conduct research for their bachelor, master or doctoral theses, and welcome other types of researchers.
We bought an apartment with our personal finances and now we need different kinds of help to make our offer available to as many interested people as possible.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Charity Work
Art Projects
Language practice
Help with Eco Projects
Teaching
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Farmstay help
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Hospitality/Tourism

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We will give the beneficiaries the opportunity to engage in various research activities or just enjoy hiking in the protected areas, we have a very good neighborhood and they will also have the opportunity to learn a little Georgian while talking to our neighbors.
Help
At the research center, what we are doing is that we have already renovated the toilet, bathroom and kitchen, but there is still a lot to do. For example: painting the fence, fixing the drainage system, 2700 square meters in the yard. We have grapes and fruit trees (care for them), help with renovation works (we want to build and arrange additional functional rooms) and similar works.
Languages
Languages spoken
Georgian: Fluent
English: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
This host has indicated that they are interested in sharing their own language or learning a new language.
You can contact them directly for more information.
Accommodation
In our house we have 3 bedrooms, room #1 has 7 beds, room #2 has 3 beds and room #3 has 2 beds. However, we do not want to receive more than 6-9 people at a time.
Bathroom and kitchen are shared. We also have an additional toilet in the old traditional style.
We also have a library and a large living room. The total living area is about 300 sq.m.
Since we have to do all this with our own finances and we don't have a sponsor. Therefore, during the interview, we will suggest in advance what we can offer them and what the guests themselves want, after that we will prepare a menu.
What else ...
Beneficiaries will have the opportunity to travel to different parts of Georgia, and there are many places to visit and hike locally. This particular corner is distinguished by the traditional method of setting the wine. And when the beneficiaries finish their visit with us, we will present them with our personally selected wine. The transport to the city goes to our house 2 times a day, it is also possible to call a shared taxi, the price is about 7-10 euros (for transportation in Tbilisi for 1 person, the taxi fits 4 to 8 people, depending on the volume of the taxi)
