Description
My wife is Georgian, I am French, we both know Georgia very well, and this project is about our countryside house in Kakheti. We are not part of any organisation.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
DIY and building projects
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My wife and I are both story tellers. She is an experienced tour guide and I am public speaker. We can help you get to know the Georgian society, manners, culture and history. We both traveled extensively for years (explored would be the word) in the country and know the people and the geography. We can teach you a lot related to the country.
and of course, you will learn a millenary old construction technique (straw + earth + wood).
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
After the construction of an earth and straw wall, we will now work with limestone to cover the inner and outer walls.
My wife and I are renovating an old Kakhetian house made of bricks and stones. We are using ancient and ecological techniques : the construction needs basically wood, straw, earth and limestone.
The second part of the project takes place from April until October. We are looking for at least 2 volunteers.
This job doesn't require any particular skill (other than good mood).
We speak English, French, German, Russian, Georgian.
