Hi there,
Please read entire profile...
(before, during and after sugar fest (from 22 march till 5 April) it's hard to get a seat on the bus, so book in advance online or buy ticket in advanced at the ctm or supratours bus station).
We are Lehcen and Hassan. We grew up in a little traditional village 11 km from tagounite. We lived with our family here. Unfortunatly our family moved to tagounite because of the waterproblem. But we love it here so much, we came back 6 years ago to live here. So we are looking for people who want to help us build the house. We live in a traditional house (Kasbah), it has shared dorm, living room, kitchen, toilet and garden.
Now we need help with making bricks, carry stones, building a new kitchen, fixing walls, carry sand for the bricks, carrying water, help with cleaning dishes toilet and the house, give water to the plants and animals, picking dades one time in the year.
We need help with making trenches around the palmtrees.This helps the palmtrees when it rains.
We have chickens, dogs, a cat and goats.
We cook traditional Berber food and all eat together 3 times a day.
If you want we can teach you.
We also have a nomad oven and sometimes we make fresh bread.
We have wifi. (there is a fee). The wifi connection is not that stable. Especially not when several people use it. If you want steady connection it's better to buy your own moroccon sim card from inwi or orange for example. You can buy them at most little supermarket shops. Make sure it's a new number, not only recharge.
We ask 5 euro (52,17 dirham) per day per person for the food.
There is enough to do here like visiting tagounite (you can go to Tagounite with a tuk tuk taxi, its around 80 dirhams one way), the market (on thursday is the big market in Tagounite), desert, walking to the mountains, go to weddings, sand snowboarding, meet my family and friends.
We work max 3 hours a day, max 5 days a week, usually after breakfast, after that you are free.
You have a lot of free time every day.
Bring things (books, games, walking shoes, knit utensils 😊) to entertain yourself with.
Bring clothes that can get dirty, flip flops, washing powder to wash your cloths (you can buy it in Tagounite), a hat against the sun in the summer (march till november), warm clothes (warm winter jacket, warm fleece sweaters, warm trousers) in the winter months, sunscreen, anti mosquito spray (you can buy it in Tagounite). And if you like a mosquito net tent to protect you from the insects (around 100 dirham), you can buy it in Zagora and maybe in Tagounite
We have blankets, pillows and matrasses.
There is an incredible problem with water here. It only rains 2 or 3 times a year. Palms are dying now. So please be careful with waterusage. You can catch your shower water for example and use it to wash your clothes. Try to use the same cup or glass all day so not all cups and glasses have to be washed after every meal. Try to use as little water as possible when doing the dishes.
We have one man staying with us, he helps with everything also the work and cooking, so you will also be working with him.
It's fine for us if you take initiative. If you are bored or looking for things to do you can always dig trenches around palmtrees, not just on our land but also on lands around us that are not being used. And you can look for old dead palm leaves laying on the ground, we use them to make fire. Be careful of any insects! and when you go far always tell us.
Be aware of stray dogs when you do these things and always bring a very strong big stick with you, preferably go with a few people and don't wonder off to far from the road especially when it's not nearby the kasbah.
There are wild dogs everywhere in Morocco. Some of them are dangerous. We advice not to go for a walk alone and if you do, stay on the path and bring a strong stick with you. We advise everybody to go walking with others.
Warning:
Watch out everywhere in Morocco for black magic and love scams.
Black magic: It happens a lot. Never eat anything just made for you. Only eat and drink shared tea and food. They can also do black magic when they know your full name and have a photo of you.
Love scams: They hunt for western partners to give them money or get them to the West through marriage.
You can get here with ctm or supratours buses from any big city.
From Marrakech daily a CTM bus departes at 11.15 and arrives at 20.30 in Tagounite.
We pick you up from the bus station in Tagounite.
House rules:
No smoking near or in the bedrooms.
No toiletpapier in the toilet, put it in the basket.
No loud talking or music near the bedrooms.
Be considerate about people who sleep earlier then you.
It's not allowed to make a photo or film other people who stay in or visit the kasbah without their permission.
Use clean shoes when entering the toilet so the floor stays clean. This way the toilet doesn't have to be cleaned every day which saves a lot of water.
Take your private belongings like food , towels and toiletries back to your room, don't let it linger in the kitchen, living room and toilet.
Use as little electricity as possible, close your phones when you don't use them (for example when walking, working, sleeping) and remove chargers from suckets when not charging.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
