Help
Help is needed - Great opportunity to learn to run a hostel, doing artistic projects and enjoy a great social experience - Priority Long term volunteering.
The help is going to be a bit of everything depending on of what must be done, the volunteers will need to do some: reception stuff and attend our guests ( Talk and have some fun with the guests making them feel welcomed and happy in the hostel).
Other than that, we also need people with good hands to do some small maintenance work, paint, draw, build furniture with recyclable material. So, long story short general help to run a small and great hostel.
People with creative knowledge for construction stuff will be of a great help!
