Description
We are a family with my husband and 2 girls - 27 and 30 years old - my mother, 4 dogs, a cat, and chickens.
I am a hardworking mother with no time and no knowledge or skills to treat and arrange what is needed.
We live in the countryside, next to the city of Palmela.
We need some help with our garden in order to clean all the green that is not needed and plant some new things. We have some orange trees and we also need help to clean them. All the help at home is also welcome, such as cleaning, meals and maintenance.
We give priority to people with experience in building earthships, domes, yurts, wood houses. We also give priority to people with experience in electrical sistems and plumbers.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You'll be in a calm rural environment where you can enjoy nature, go on bike rides and explore the area as well as the city near us (Pinhal Novo) There is also a pool for you to enjoy. There are beaches near by in Arrábida along with the historical city of Palmela which we can provide transport to. The train station near by, is one of the main stations in the country and from there you can easily go to Lisbon (capital of Portugal), other beaches in Setúbal and many other places. Portugal is an amazingly friendly and beautiful country.
And you'll be around fun, dynamic people who will gladly share their knowledge with you and who knows you might teach a few things too. It's a good place for those looking to relax and get away from all the stress of the city.
Help
We are looking for volunteers with multi skilled expertise to assist us with general maintenance works such as gardening, construction, painting, fencing, creating little trails/paths and accessibility. Creativity, initiative, positive spirit, improvisation and good sense of humor are very valued.
