Description
Hola, I am Stevo, I enjoy doing voluntary work as it is a nice way to work and meet people...so far I have done various roles in two Buddhist centres, volunteered in a cat rescue, helped a friend organise his mechanic garages and another friend renovate his house.I worked with teenagers in a drama group..what motivates me is helping and empowering other, working with my own nature and nature itself.I get happiness from improving a situation and making it better and positive...happiness is the adventure of improving yourself, being playful..for me that can be yoga, walking, meditation, going to the theatre drawing or just being in the moment.I enjoy caring for the welfare of animals and nature and people.

Left by Workawayer (Steven) for host for (Come and help look after ...)

I stayed with Liz and Raech for three months with the furred and feathered friends there. Liz and Reach were both friendly, supportive and kind to me while I was there. They ensured I could access the beauty of the lake district and also that I could get my covid vaccination done, they allowed my partner to visit during my stay and treated us to… read more meals out. They also showed me around the highlights of the lake district and local area..Liz and reach are both people with broad Insights into life, so this made interesting conversations during meal time.The couple have a passion for many things, one of them is cooking,so during the times when we shared our meal time it was many a tasty meal.
The dogs, cats and hens are all characters and lovely natured and I enjoyed my time caring for there welfare..Liz and raech kindly fund the care of these animals that have have been mistreated, have conditions or illnesses that have not had a good start to life, but here they have good fuss and love and a safe home.it was lovely to build rapport with these dogs,cat hens
The work load can vary depending on whether it was one work away working there or two workaways there.If there is one workaway it can be a busy work load, but Reach and Liz are always looking at ways to efficient with the time it takes to look after the animals whilst maintains a good tenderness of care for them..The couple have developed a routine for the dogs care and even the dogs seem to bond and be better together for this..so you must be able to stick to there routine, as it confuses the dogs otherwise.Liz and raech are open to discussions about positive changes as long as it is discussed with them and not acted on with out there approval,as the routine has been though out for a reason and purpose..This place would suit some one who is truly into animal welfare and has experience or even if you have no experience, but have a warm heart, listen and follow Liz and Raechs instructions around the care of both the animals and the home,then the couple in return are very supportive and warm to you.
There is also projects work,kennel cleaning and cleaning the coups..I enjoyed doing the project work painting kennels,driving Liz to her work, extending the area for the hens, working with raech in the garden..I will keep in touch with Liz and Reach as they are a warm hearted couple who give good home to some lovely animals

(Excellent )
