Description
Welcome.
We invite you to experience life in our beautiful village of Sarybel, located just 80 km from Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana, and 120 km from the city of Karaganda. We are a family with two children. And we will be glad to welcome our volunteers to our warm and cozy farm.
Here, you can enjoy the fresh air, open spaces, and stunning sunsets that paint the sky in mesmerizing colors.
We have several workers on our farm who receive local wages, a woman who helps around the house, her duties include cleaning, washing after guests, helping in the kitchen, and helping with all the necessary household chores. One man who helps us plant the garden and look after it, this is only a summer job.
