Description
I am an alone lady and I newly moved in a new bigger and individual house in Agarwada,close to Siolim/ Morjim, North Goa, taking care of dogs, in a total private way. I rent a 3 bedrooms house, next to the rice fields and the river, with a garden.
From now on we are searching for volunteers who can preferably stay at least one or two months at least.
In april i will leave india for at least a month while one of my previous volunteers will stay in my house and take care of the dogs. So depending on when you can start you will either stay with me or her.
We need help in various taks, mainly in feeding our dogs, around the village on the streets, cleaning the house, washing dogs etc. Besides of the maintasks we are developing a businessidea according to the work with the dogs right now so if you are into social media or marketing/web development we also aprecciate help in that way.
Your fixed tasks can be discussed in the beginning that you have anyway enough time to explore and enjoy the area.
IMPORTANT:
- Drivers license (for scooter) is required as we are feedings lots of dogs on the streets every day which will be part of your work as well
- we can only host one volunteer as there is not enough space in the house
- be flexible, we cannot fix working hours as our work depends on a lot of things but we make sure that you have enough free time during the day and evenings after feeding are always free as well.
FOR COUPLES:
We cannot host couples as we don't have enough space. Anyway, if you are interested in a cheap stay in arambol in exchange for small helping tasks we have a place in arambol as well where we would be happy to share it with dog loving couples.
