    Help

    -Help with daily household routines; taking some strain off a pregnant toddler mother by helping with cleaning or playtimes.
    -Help with gardening ; prepping beds, clearing spaces, planting etc.
    -A chance to observe and learn about our natural building projects; indoor/outdoor renovations with cob, rocket stoves, design processes. We have lots of plans for projects you can learn about and watch in process.
    -Longer term volunteers into the new year would be helping around the house as well; cleaning, maybe cooking for us, dog walking. Helping with daily things as we are in preparation for a home birth of our second child, an extra set of hands round the place is going to be beyond helpful in a very busy time for us.
