Description
Judith: I’ve been volunteering since January 2015. After staying with more than ten host, I only have beautiful words about this exchange. I’m still as enthusiastic as the first day.
With an Helpx.net profile I had been milking cows in Iceland and Turkey, gardening and taking care of chickens in England. In Scotland stayed in a community and I helped in a Backpacker’s Hostel. In France I was working in a garden for two month. I helped in a communitarian kitchen in Brazil and I lived off grid while I was working in a cacao farm. In Nepal, I had the opportunity to volunteer in a beautiful school. I’d been a Volunteers Coordinator in Kenya during 9 months. Every house became a home, each host makes me feel like a family member.

Javier: I’m an artist and community worker. I’ve a degree in restoration and conservation of cultural heritage. In Buenos Aires, I run workshops related to visual arts. I teach painting and ceramic to a wide range of students. I’m a handyman. I can repair, restore, build and do maintenance work.I’ve knowledge and experience in bio-construction.
I am a passionate teacher and I’m also a very good student. Now I’m committed to improve my English and I’m learning very fast.
A couple of month ago I decided to leave Buenos Aires to join Judith in this adventure.
We want to walk together, side by side.

Judith & Javier: we are ready to create an atmosphere of joy and kindness around us. Respect diversity is a must. Do not harm our motto. We want to face new challenges, to explore, to transform, to rediscover with the eyes of the child and let the world amazed us.
We are full of enthusiasm about this path that we are building together. We are looking forward to generate a positive impact while we keep evolving to become better persons.
We considered ourselves very flexible and easygoing. We love cooking, hiking, swimming, reading, theatre... We are ready to learn from you while we give you our support.

We were lucky to have Judith come back to work with us for a second time. We first met her in Turkey when she worked for us under the Helpx programme and kept in contact when we moved to France.
Judith is a very confident, contentious and hard working lady with an enquiring mind, ready to try all sorts of new tasks. She has a wonderful personality… read more

While Javier was in Scotland, I spent two wonderful weeks with Sandy and John in their cozy farm in France. I’d been with them before, I had volunteer through helpx in their home in Turkey during a month or more (I can’t remember how long I was there but I remembered that I extended my stay). Both experiences where amazing, so I can HIGHLY… read more

We enjoyed a lot our time in Agios Nikolaos with Irini, Vasili and Sarita. We went for three weeks and we stayed five. There we found a very nice balance between work and leisure.
We also had a good balance between the time for ourselves and the time we shared with them because even Vasili and Irini are very busy and sometime tired after a hard… read more

I had a great team this summer with Judith and Javier being the core part of it. The moment they arrived, they got to the rhythm of what needed to be done straight away. All the tasks that were to be completed were handled by them with ease, great attention to details and perfectionism. Initially Judith and Javier were planning to stay with me for… read more

Deirdre amazed with her generosity. Always ready to fulfill our needs and expectations, she treated us as part of her family, opening her house and making it our home. To write all the things we had the opportunity to do and enjoy in the centre of the universe (New Market on Fergus) during two month and a half would take a looong space and too… read more

I will never forget Chabbi asking me if i was happy there and how grateful i felt when he said very sincerely: “If you are happy, we are happy”. That’s the spirit of this big family. Plus: is so rewarding to do the classes… read more

I can not find the words to describe how wonderful my stay was. They teach me with love each part of the process: from collecting the cacao to eat the chocolate ;)..

We worked during the morning and i helped one or two hours during the afternoon, but the schedule was flexible. Yes! We worked and it is… read more

Sweet Judith, what a treat it was to host you. Having Judith around felt very comforting and safe. Whether working with her in the kitchen, or interacting with the other volunteers in the group, we could always count on Judith and knew that things would get done with her support. She was very open and receptive to our way of living. Thinking back… read more

During the first meeting i shared, while someone was talking i was surprised by the sound of a whisper. The whisper was saying “thank you” and NOW i whisper this words to all the members of this amazing community.
This project, to me, was a gift. I spent two week in the volunteer program –wishing to stay longer- and i had the opportunity to… read more
