  Description

  We invite you to our place in the countryside near Lublin (east of Poland). We live here with my husband - Tomasz. We run a non-governmental organization. Our house is full of music. Tomasz produces musical instruments (drums, tank drums, etc.) and teaches how to play. We welcome guests from spring (May) to autumn (October). We need help the most in the garden, but also (during holidays) in working with children, learning the English language. It is necessary to contact us in advance, because sometimes we leave the house for festivals and other events.
  Since 2022, we have been running a Community Garden - it's a 30-meter foil full of herbs, and there we need help growing them. We organize meetings, workshops, theater for children, concerts.
  We ask for 5 hours help a day, 5 days a week. No more than 25 hours a week. We will provide all food (vegetarian, mostly from local products) and sleeping space in tents. We have a lot of books, free wifi, bicycles, table tennis and billiards and 1 hectare of forest :) Many artists live in our area. We live 4 km from the Zamoyski Museum in Kozlówka, 25 km from the beautiful, historic city of Lublin and 50 km from the charming Kazimierz Dolny on the Vistula River. We will gladly show you these beautiful places and you will meet our extraordinary neighbors.
  
  Ewa: In 1995, together with a group of friends, I brought to existence the Association. Initially, my activities were directed to the local youth of the rural areas, focused on local development, international exchanges, living in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. I have been working “with and for refugees” for nearly 15 years. A certain part of my activities is carried out through culture and art. In 2015, I was awarded the title of "The Active Woman of the Lublin Region." I was a Tutor at the School of Leaders of the Polish-American Freedom Foundation, I graduated in Political Systems from UMCS in Lublin, and I am a cultural animator who is passionate about playing percussion instruments (I was a member of the first Polish female percussion band "Mama Bum").
  
  Tomasz „Bozdek”: I am a passionate musician and creator of instruments made-by-hand (including recyclable instruments), used e.g. in theatre performances, ethnic, jazz and folk music. My activity in the association predominantly revolves around music: during workshops I teach children and teenagers to play and show them how to make simple musical instruments. For years I have been working with refugees, migrants and foreignes, managing music formations, preparing with them music for performances and recording. My music is co-created with children and is, for instance, used as a background to Aesop's Tales. In 2016,
