Details
Description
We are a family of 4, surrounded by a bench of animals (dogs, cats, chicken, ducks).
We speak romanian, french, english, italian and flemish (some better than others :D) !
We are interested in Self Building, self efficiency, organic gardening, DIY but we are also only humans :D
We are looking for volunteers to help us organize the garden area. We built a kind of Walipini in spring 2020, began a little lake this spring and have some gardening spaces to organize.
We live in the city center of the historical city of Rasnov. Rasnov has a castle and in not far from the big city of Brasov (bus and trains to there) and the Bran castle. We also are close to The national parks of Bucegi and Piatra Craului.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you are interested in construction and experimenting in the garden, this can be an opportunity for you to make part of it :-)
Also we learned from our first experience with a volunteer that we love to share our day to day live with nice people, maybe not 24/7 but some cooking, a beer, stories and expérience exchange are things we like to share !

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We built a kind of Walipini in spring 2020, began a little lake this spring and have some gardening spaces to organize.
The volunteering involves mostly outside tasks. It is expected from the volunteer to be proactive and to have motivation to have things done by him/herself. I am coming to give a hand as many times as it is possible regarding my day program at work and the care of our little girl.
We have had good and bad experiences with volunteers. Some of the work we have done in the yard couldn't be done without them. Eliana helped us with the Walipini; Eugenie and Bastien with the Walipini and some construction work in the court; Iola gave us a hand finishing the chicken house and building the lake and some backs...
We are happy to share our knowledge, way of live and passions, also we are happy to welcome your creativity and ideas.
What we don't want to do is having to come after our volunteers to have the tasks done... Really that's not the spirit.
Also please, i try to do my best to answer all messages but went a bit down when taking time to respond while people disappeared without a word. Please ask yourself if you are really interested about us before sending the first message so that we don't loose time and energy. Everyone can change his mind about his projects, that's not the point, just let's be respectful :)
