Description
We are a social-cultural project that trough social clown brings hapinness, warm feelings, and hugs to old people (specially those who live in social loneliness) and people with special needs. We do our work trough arts and are specialized in theater and clowning.
Now we run 2 places: a 0,5 hectar land in a beautifull ecological farm in Marvão (where there's also a forest school project and we take profit of the daily presence of kids around) and an old tiny house in the historical center of Castelo de Vide still in rebuilding process, also needing your help.
URGENT NEED in rebuilding, carpinter and electricity tasks (in the tiny house) and with gardening and organizing events with old people and kids in the farm.
In this project, our dreams are still bigger than our hands, and that's why... we'd love to share our project and ideas with yours and find our own way to change the world with love, art and laugh. Feel welcome to join our team at Maria d'Alegria :-)

Hébergement
A tent and a caravan in Terra d'Amor Humor (Portagem, Marvão)
and, sometimes, a room in Maria d'Alegria house (Castelo de Vide)
we have a comunitary kitchen where volunteers can cook their own meals with the ingredients we offer (vegetarian food). Sometimes, we can cook or offer one meal for the volunteers (per working day) but by now we have not the possibility to ensure that commitement as we work in some other places at the same time.

Around you can do beautiful walks in a Natural Park (Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede), with waterfalls to find. You can visit a lot of precious historical heritage places (like Castelo de Vide, marvão, Portalegre, Nisa and the spanish Valência de Alcântara or world heritage Caceres (spain) - only 1 hour distance).
