  Descripción

  I'm a 19-year-old student studying computer science, and I'm excited to tell you about our project and organization. Our family lives in the mountains, and we have a guest house that we built ourselves. We are a progressive and open-minded family with a passion for creativity, singing, and woodworking.
  
  Recently, I won a grant, and I have an exciting idea for a new project - building a small wooden cabin with unique and creative designs. We want to create a cozy and charming space that will allow us to be more independent and expand our hospitality offerings.
  
  The main objective of this project is to construct the wooden cabin from scratch, incorporating creative ideas and unique features. It will be a great opportunity for Workawayers to immerse themselves in a natural mountain setting, where they can learn about sustainable building techniques, woodworking, and experience the joy of creating something from raw materials.
  
  Moreover, we also have an old cabin that needs remodeling and renovation. This will be another aspect of the project that requires attention and hands-on work. Workawayers with experience in carpentry, construction, or architecture would be especially valuable to us during this phase.
  
  Beyond the building project, there will be ample opportunities for cultural exchange and bonding. Our family loves music and singing, and we would be more than happy to share our songs and learn from your musical talents if you have any.
  
  Volunteering with us would mean being part of a warm and welcoming family environment. We would provide accommodation and meals for our Workawayers, and you'll get the chance to explore the beautiful surroundings of the mountains.
  
  So, if you're interested in contributing to an exciting building project, gaining hands-on experience with woodworking, and spending time in a picturesque mountain setting, then we would be thrilled to have you join us as a volunteer. Let's come together to create something amazing and enjoy the beauty of nature and music in the process!
