Description
We are retired Bulgarian couple living and engaged in activities in the country side for about 8 months. There are about 150 people living in our village, rock climbing (Prohodna cave) and other places of interest within about 10 km.
We love nature, we are interested in cultural exchange, ideas and actions for development of the local community and ready to share our experience. We have lived about 6 years in Africa, 7 years in China and the rest in Bulgaria. We speak English, Portuguese, Russian and Bulgarian.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can share our experience, living in several countries while working on development and educational projects. We are often visited by our kids and grandchildren who are open minded young people.
We hope to raise community participation in environmental causes by our actions.
We have small amateur workshop where we can work together on creation and restoration of wooden objects, cook together and design the garden landscape.
We will be happy to learn ideas and skills, that can make the planet a better place.

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.

We are close to see our village project soon finished, however we still need help in:

* mowing the grass;
* woodworking (recycled, re-purposed wood);
* chairs and other old furniture restoration;
* picture frames assembling;
* pergola raising;
* masonry (non-structural).

We ourselves will be part of these activities.

Life is quiet in the village, but there are no restrictions for "night-owls" discussions.
