Help on our family project in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay

  Description

  We are a large and happy Christian family that opens its doors to travelers from all over the world. We have a 50 acre property on the banks of the Acaray River in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay. If you imagine that managing a property of this size is a lot of work, you are right! But it is a comforting job, we have all the amenities and at the same time we are surrounded by a wonderful natural environment. By the way, our property, despite being in the middle of the forest, is only 30 minutes away from the triple border (Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil).
  
  Among other things, we would like to start organizing Christian camps and retreats. If you have experience in these things, you will be a great help and blessing to us, as we have great plans to spread the gospel in a fun, heartwarming and unforgettable way! We have seen that wonderful Christian encounter experiences are being organized around the world. We are especially interested in summer camps for children and youth. So, if your heart is with Jesus and you want to have a great time with us, don't hesitate to apply!!!
  
  On the other hand, we are planning the creation of an organic garden. If the idea of digging in the ground, planting seeds and having contact with water and earth excites you, this invitation is also for you. You don't need experience, just a willingness to learn and a desire to be part of something meaningful. In this exciting startup, we are looking for curious minds and hands willing to turn a piece of land into a sustainable oasis. Imagine sowing the seeds of a project that will literally bloom with the help of your hands!

  Help

  Our property requires constant maintenance. Mainly cleaning of the rooms and gardening. On the other hand, we have in mind to start the construction of small bungalows to accommodate travelers and tourists. This will be done through a specialized company, but it is likely that we will need extra hands to make the project feasible. If you have skills for this kind of work (or if you want to learn), you will be very welcome. We would also like to open a small canteen on activity days, such as birthdays, camps, retreats, etc. All this is in the planning stage, but we already started receiving guests a few months ago.

  We have a 4-floor building with several apartments equipped with bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms. The distribution of the rooms will be made according to availability. When there are no guests, travelers can use these apartments, but on busy days, we provide a large room with several bunk beds for travelers (hostel type).
  
  We offer three meals a day. The food is varied and usually traditional Paraguayan food. We do not offer vegetarian menu, but travelers can use the kitchen and prepare their own food if they have a special diet. They can also store their own food in the refrigerator or freezer.
