Help in our countryside garden in Brandenburg, Germany

Description

from 12.Juli -19.August

There is always a lot of work in the huge garden as well as we need somebody to play with the kids, especially for Moritz, who has Down-Syndrom. He is 12 years old and very active for a "Downy". Jumping on the huge trampolin, playing football is also a popular pasttime. If you like horses you can spend some time with them. The surrounding is very lovely and inviting to take a walk while enjoying nature; forest and fields. You can do this in your free time or at working time with the kids.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

If we are not in Brandenburg we live in the Centre of Berlin near Mitte/Prenzlauerberg/Mauerpark.
Our free time we stay at Brandenburg/countryside at our old barn where you can enjoy the wide countryside, just hear birds singing and cocks/ Hähne crowing from far away.

In Berlin: if you want you can spend your free time at Berlin. Our flat is near Mitte/Prenzlauerberg/Mauerpark.

By the way - people with Down-Syndrom are very special . For them it seems to be natural to be opened up to strangers spontaneously. Spoken words or social standing does'nt count, "Downies" have their own opinion what is true at their moment.

Projects involving children

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.

Accommodation

We have a trailer on the property with a bed and some storage space, perfect to have your own space! The trailer even got a fireplace for the colder months. But we also have a spare room in the house which is more renovated and more comfortable during the colder months.

What else ...

Please notice that you will spend a lot of time in Brandenburg, countryside. It's very calm out there and it's very likable. Totally different to Berlin.The nearest train station is about 6 km close. So it's approximately two hour ride (by train) if you want to go back to Berlin for a party, for ex. and return the next day for work.
