Description
We are a trilingual family of four (English, Spanish and French) living Velez-Rubio Andalucia, not far away from Granada.
We have been humanitarian workers for the International Committee of the Red Cross. I (Santiago) am working home-based designing water systems for UNHCR in refugee camps. Federica is a Physiotherapist and loves yoga and cooking.
Lately, we've gone vegetarian, but you are free to eat whatever you please. Food also included!Types of help and learning opportunities

You can have a peep at the humanitarian work, how it is to work in Somalia of Afghanistan or why millions of Europeans settle in this area of Spain, or how we cope as a half Swiss half Spanish family.
Having being hosted ourselves, we'll take good care of you. We are looking forward to learning a lot from you too.Projects involving children

Help
We need a native Italian speaker to teach our children while playing (intermediate level). Nothing too formal, just playing in Italian. You need to be full of imagination, engaging, playful... and even silly sometimes! Playmobil adventures are great for example. Or maybe build something out of cardboard or play a board game!
Mornings are completely free.
For a bit of variety, gardening/landscaping tasks can also be done.
We can offer 2-3 weeks duration stays.Languages

What else ...
Lots of stuff to see around and plenty of Nature. World-class cultural sites, such as Granada just 1.5 hours away. Climbing sites in walking distance with walls up to 300 m. Cycling routes (GR-10) starting from the gate.
But what previous workawayers have loved, is just the peace of the place.A little more information
