Description
Hello! My name is Ziad. I have studied & started my professional career as an architect. Then life unfolded itself in a wonderful way bringing me into the heart of nature. I have been living in this land on the river banks of "Ain Dara" village for more than 10 years. The community is now expanding the land, planting more, building new creative spaces, New Bangalos, new Art Decoration for the Land... We also grow our own food..
We have already 4 wooden Bangalos built..and 3 are partially finished.
There are chickens in the land, 20 cats and around 10 dogs so we hope you like pets!
The land embraces a beautiful energy between the animals, the wild nature, the river and the mountain.
So I am looking for volunteers who love nature & exchanging energies and cultural/professional know how..
In construction work...Planting...Gardening..Art...Decoration..Cooking..Helping around..
We are going to talk, laugh, play, plan, and harmonize our skills and energies..
I speak English and Arabic. But most of the in-house people speak French as well and some speak Spanish and Portuguese.
I hope this summer will be full of FUN and Bliss for everyone! ♥
Thank you!
