Description
Hello, I need help from May 2024 until October 2024 unless for 1 month and volunteers over 35 years old ( don't write to me if you are younger) in cleanings, gardening, help with the dogs, Building,painting ,fixing,woodwork.
Hello, I'm Margherita , 58 years old, I live in Sicily, near Etna vulcano and Taormina, in a lemon Grove in front of the Jonian sea with my family .
My Place Is for volunteers that like to stay in front of the Sea ,in the countryside and relax and like independent hospitality with few volunteers .
It Is not a community or an ecological project. I live here with My children and in Winter I work in My Feldenkrais and Dancetheatre studio . In Summer the holistic activities are closed ,we have a Guesthouse and need help overall in cleanings, ironing, cut the lawn, collect leaves, go for a walk with the dogs.
This Is an Independent hospitality for people that like to be helpful and have a lot of free time to rest.
Because I'm very busy I prefer couples,and not single volunteers, that can organize your free time independently and don't expect from me to share free time together and don't feel alone. Or It could be pleasant for volunteers that Need to stay alone to concentrate (write a book, walk, work on internet ,make photos, read books, study ecc)
Usually we meet in worktime , I bring you to the supermarket and sometimes it's a pleasure to share meals together but not every day .
In Winter you can partecipate to Feldenkrais or Dancetherapy or Dancetheatre classes.
If you want to visit ,public transport Is not available, I can bring you and pick you up to the Fiumefreddo di Sicilia Train station (7 kms far from home) that connects you to the main cities (Catania,Siracusa, Palermo, Messina). If you want to visit nature (Etna, Alcantara Gorges, Peloritani Mountains ) you need a car or pay a taxi.
I host you in a van with electricity, hot water and you have your own van, not shared with other volunteers . There Is a commun area with shared kitchen where you can cook when and what you want and a shared bathroom with the shower and hot water , and outside cold showers .
I offer hospitality in change of 3 hours work x 5 days and 2 days rest and you provide to buy and cook your food .
When It happens that I Need more help I ask 5 hours work in change of hospitality and food x 5 days and 2 days rest, but It happens Just sometimes in August or for a special event.
At 1 km and half you can find a village(Fondachello) with many bars, restaurants, pizzeria, you can drink good beer, and find many local tourists.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
