  Description

  We want to build a beautiful organic pool in our country cottage. We have a large plot of land with maintenance-requiring buildings. We are a family of 5, and we also have a goat family as pets, not to mention our chickens. In addition to my spouse and mother, we have 2 children aged 7 and 5. We prefer to host only families with children whose native language is English.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a Turkish family who believe that our roots share similarities with the Sakas from Northern European countries, originating from Bulgaria among Balkan nations. This would be intriguing for those interested in the Islamic culture's integration into Europe. Such an experience would certainly prove enriching.

  Help

  We have decided to create an organic pool, we have finished the excavation work and only the construction remains. If you think you can help us even if you don't have the skills, we can work together. We prefer to host families with children to help our children improve their English language skills. If you want to get to know a Turkish family and experience village life and culture in Turkey, it won't be a problem even if you don't have many skills.

  Accommodation

  I think we can all stay together in our village house, which has 3 bedrooms, a spacious living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a bathtub. If our village house is not enough, I don't think we will have any problems with accommodation since we have 2 more apartments in the city, which is only 9 km away. Our meals are from Turkish cuisine, but we would like to experience our guests' food cultures and we can cook meals that suit your taste buds together.

  What else ...

  Our main reason for hosting volunteers is to improve our and our children's English language skills. We don't expect the daily working hours to exceed 6-7 hours. During the daily 10-12 hours of free time, you can relax in the tranquility of the village, take nature walks, or go to the sea, which is 25 km away. There is no transportation problem in Keşan where we are located, and there are bus services to all parts of Turkey, even to Bulgaria and Greece.
