Description
I would be happy with volunteers providing 2 - 3 hours per helping day to help with domestic chores and garden maintenance.
Vedrovo is a small village, in the Burgas region, and it has some 50 residents and another 30 people or so who visit at weekends and holidays. Despite my lack of Bulgarian, and being the first foreigner here, I have been welcomed with incredible kindness and support by all the villagers. The people here say that everyone is welcome …"with heart and soul". I can vouch for that!
I like to feel that I am making a difference, so in partnership with the local mayor, I have started a village community project to help develop parts of the village, including reclamation of the village park, properties, roads and pathways.
Also, I am writing a series of stories about rural life in our village. I need help with harvesting fruit and veg from the garden
I am particularly interested in volunteers who can undertake artistic projects or general DIY. In addition, I need help with maintaining and landscaping the park area, gardening, tending vegetables and fruit etc.
In due course, I aim to use our village as a template to support other villages to make improvements needed elsewhere, so that Bulgarian village culture is not lost.
Anyone seeking to experience something quite special, need look no further.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

As far as possible, I aim to match tasks with volunteer interests - and to work 2-3 hours a day, and I shall be happy to be as flexible as possible as to when the work is carried out and time off.
I make an effort to join in with local 'goings-on', and volunteers would be most welcome to join me in meeting with some of the locals. This is a great way to see how villagers, whom have known each other for life, interact.
This is an opportunity to see rural village life at first-hand. There is plenty of opportunity to mix. All of the villagers here are friendly and very helpful.Aide
The second floor has an apartment with two bedrooms, as well as a kitchen, bathroom and large covered viewing terrace.
The garden has a range of flowerbeds, vines, fruit trees and vegetables - as well as some lawns, and these need to be maintained. I am interested in using permaculture methods.
The house is surrounded by nature - in a quiet lane, with a wooded park area to one side and panoramic views to the forest and mountains on the other side. I am creating quite an arty-based house and garden, so anyone with creative flair in house and garden-design or interiors would be most welcome to take part in discussions and execution e.g. painting a mural, creating a flowerbed, help with pond-design.
We aim to reduce my carbon footprint, so anyone with related knowledge, skills and advice would be especially welcome - I am considering: ways of recycling plastic waste for an art project. The villagers here are extremely resourceful and recycle things effectively.Langues

The upstairs apartment has two bedrooms which can accommodate up to 4 people.
I am happy cooking and preparing meals. However, I am equally happy to sample any dishes from others, if they like cooking. I will ensure that any special dietary requirements are met as well as food and drink supplies to cater for volunteer preferences.Autres infos...
It is a fairly tranquil village and it is about 30 minutes' away from the nearest big towns of Karnobat and Aytos, and Burgas is 1.5 hours’ away, plus there is a train station in Vedrovo.
I am fairly easy-going - I have enjoyed sharing houses with lodgers over the years, and I had about 20 volunteers over the last 5 years’.Informations complémentaires

Antonio is an example how to live not just for yourself but for others and how to communicate with people by heart not just words.
