Descripción
We are a South African family living in Grenada, West Indies! My sister, Zanne & I have a local business, which specializes in custom Marine Upholstery.
My daughter Grace (12) is home schooled after attending public school last year.
We also run an bnb & love to welcome visitors to the wonderful island of Grenada.
We live on the beautiful shores of Benji Bay on the South of the island.
We have a wonderful community of friends who are very supportive & fun!

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
The Benji Bay community are from all over the world! New Zealand, Canada, Italy, Japan, Cuba, South Africa, Britian, USA & more!
We are also valued members of the Parish of Woburn, St George's. Although our home and immediate community is mainly international, there is a rich local culture all over Grenada. The locals are friendly, helpful and always enjoy showing new - comers their beautiful country.
There are many island tours available out to waterfalls, rum factories, chocolate estates and along the coast to snorkel etc. There are many activities to enjoy in your free time and public transport is available.
Every Saturday evening, we meet for a dock party, on our private jetty...bring food & wine & catch up on the weeks' happenings!
We are keen to teach Sailmaking & Marine Upholstery.
Learning a bit of Spanish would be much appreciated:)

Ayuda
Primarily, we are looking for a tutor for Grace. Someone to supervise homeschooling & cook a basic meal once or twice a week.
We run 'sewing for sailors' training courses, which our volunteers are welcome to attend in exchange for helping with the set-up.
These are usually one every few months and held on a Saturday morning.
We will also need a little help in the loft from time to time. This may include helping cut some fabric, rearrange and organize shelves, ride along on call outs to measure for cushions etc.
Marine Canvas and Upholstery is a thriving industry here and we get to meet people cruising from all over the world.
If you are someone who enjoys working with their hands and has an interest in sailing / marine industry, this will be a very enjoyable part of your experience (and a great skill to learn).
I am an avid sailor & sailmaker, Zanne is training to practice Ayurvedic medicine & massage.
Grace loves to catch fish & eat ice-cream!
Our volunteers are welcome to join us on any of our adventures!!

We offer one spacious, secure double room in a plantation style house, with a private toilet & shower. All bedding provided. The house is situated 50m from our house.
It is a double story with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, kitchen, downstairs kitchenette, 2 large verandas. The ground floor has 2 rooms, one for the property manager & one for the volunteer. We are only able to host 1 volunteer.
The top floor is short-term rentals.
the house has a big garden which ends at the shore of Benji Bay with its own private dock.
Our house, where tutoring & cooking will be done is just next door & has 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms.
The house is very close to the Black Sand beach in Benji Bay.
We shop once or twice a week & decide our meals based on that.
Tuna, Chicken & Pork are on the menu, with wonderful curries & occasional fresh fish. Lots of island fruit...mangoes, bananas & avos!
Volunteers will be expected to help with meal prep on certain days.
Dollar wings are very popular in Grenada & we have them for dinner on most Wednesday nights after Social Backgammon at La Phare Bleu.

This is a tropical island, in your spare time there is snorkeling, paddle-boarding, sailing...visiting waterfalls & rum factories etc.
Art & Chocolate Festivals to attend.
There is a short walk to the bus stop to access the rest of the island
We work Monday to Friday....8am to 12:30, lunch, then 14:30 to 18:00.
