Description
We are bunch of volunteers who run non-profit vegan sanctuary based in the heart of Czech Republic in the little village called Dobrovítov (good Welcome) with app 110 rescued animals (cows, lamas, cheeps, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, hens, turkeys, ducks) who not only want to save animals but show people we can live differently, we create events for kids, mentally ill people, elderly people and anyone who needs help to see World differently. We hope all people will understand one day we need to live in peace with nature, animals and us humans as one family in sustainable way. We are looking for volunteers who can stay min of 1 month who will help with animals, garden, cooking for volunteers and more up to your skills and hobbies as we want to create better World for us not only animals, so every ideas are very welcome. The work is physical, you will need to learn a lot of small details to do the daily animal care routine, and of course, it's a farm, so you will get dirty, and clean a lot of poop everyday. We have a lot of visitors during summer as we love to spread veganism in the nicest way possible so we create some events for them, so I think you can enjoy every bit of it. We prefer couples (but not necessary) where at least one of you have building skills as often needed is repairing and building fences or shelters for animals and etc... We can teach you a lot of things but we really need from you to be independent, responsible, credible, reliable and hard working as we are all as family here and you will be part of this family :)

Help
Every morning we feed animals and clean their shelters and all the area around. We have some sick animals so we give them medicine and take special care for them. We prepare all food for animals for the evening. We take dogs outside for walk. Check garden and cook food for everyone for lunch. After lunch you will have a free time till evening when we feed again the animals but it takes max 1 hour, so basically it is 4 hours morning and 1 hour evening mostly taking care for animals and farm around.
