Description
I am on a sabbatical and very happy to have some time off. My children are both abroad for a year and, after 20 years of raising children and working in a large NGO, I have decided to take some time off. I plan to spend time in Canada from the end of April to mid of July and would very much like to volunteer during this time, work in agriculture, eco-projects and gain knowledge and experience in sustainable farming. I am very motivated to do physical work, lend a hand, learn and spend a lot of time outdoors - and to speak English.
In the end of June I plan to pick up my son, who is on a High School exchange at the Canadian Eastcoast. I am easygoing, sociable, patient and hardworking. I don't need much to be happy. I love being in nature and having nice people around. I am persistent, see the work that needs to be done and take initiative.
I have a University degree in social science and live with my husband and my 16 and 19 year old sons in Berlin, Germany.
