Join a good cause and help me with animals in Nicosia, Cyprus

  Description

  For the last four years, I have been involved in animal rights activism and animals rescue. Specifically I founded the 269life Animal Liberation in Cyprus that is a global movement since 2012 and first started in Israel. At the same time I found this land which was originally just a field among fields and I started to care for it until I created a small oasis.
  
  Through the years I've hosted more than 60 dogs, 30 cats, 20 chickens and roosters. At the moment I live with 12 cats, two dogs (Fani and Sarissa), one sheep (Romeo) and one goat (Aura); they're all really friendly. In the property at the moment I have around 60 fruit trees (of the summer season) and in the winter I'll be growing seasonal vegetables.
  
  The farm is quite isolated and has almost no light pollution, making the night sky a beautiful sight. Our trees are already producing delicious local fruits which you are welcome to indulge in and enjoy straight from nature. My aim is to become as self sustainable as possible when it comes to nutrition.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  It would be my duty to reveal Cyprus to any guests visiting our island and to learn our way of living through a local's perspective. I often travel in Cyprus, there's still so much left to be explored and you would be welcome to join me in this quest!

  Help

  I'm interested in getting some help with the daily necessities around the farm, specifically on animal and land care. The farm is constantly developing and I'm open to receiving your contribution in ideas on how to improve it even more. There might also be some construction work, which would be a plus for somebody to have knowledge on.
