Detalhes

Descrição
I am an environmental activist working on an ecovillage project in Al-Balqa in Jordan. The project aims at restoring natural building techniques and heritage combined with full ecological systems: rainwater harvesting, solar energy, regenerative life styles, etc that would serve as educational models that can be replicated in different areas. The project is located in the middle of a forest with scenery views, privacy and close to a number of villages that we wish to serve and integrate in.

Algo mais...
The project is located in the beautiful countryside close to a number of villages. We cooperate with some local CBOs and our guests can visit them and help their members besides getting to know their style of living.
The ecovillage is 10 minutes by bus from the city of Salt which still maintains rich cultural and architectural heritage and is fun to walk around in its old narrow streets. There are buses from the area, around 7 minutes walking from the site, to Salt and from Salt to Amman. People are hospitable and often offer lifts to guests.

The place is beautiful! It is on top of a hill, a higher place from where you have a nice view of the green surroundings and the valley. The place is quite isolated, be sure you have the things that you need with you, otherwise Khaled can also take you with him to the city in case needed. So, choose this if you are ok to live away from the busy… read more city live and live in the nature!

I choose to stay in a cob house; there were stone houses available too. Khaled let me choose where I felt like staying. It was a room-house only for me and it felt good. The constructions there are very warm and cozy, as well as comfortable and they are used as a hotel too, so you can choose the place also if you are looking for a short time accommodation, not only for volunteering. In met some tourists too in there who stayed overnight.

I arrived at the end of December when it was rainy and quite cold. The warm of the heater was felt only while sitting near it, therefore I advise you to come in the warmer days there. Khaled welcomed me, took me from the Southern part where I was and where he had a conference to attend which I very much appreciated and I am grateful for. He asked me about my habits, like when I would like to work, when I take the meals, what do I prefer eating, trying to make me feel comfortable there. He cooked very tasty dinners, vegan so that I could eat to, so we ate together the dinners. The few days I was there, we had some interesting talks, which I am grateful for. Due to the weather, I only did some cleaning work of the built-in with cob bottles, inside the houses; I helped a bit with carving the cave-like next-to-be room along with his helper, though the men didn’t always come also because of the rainy weather. I did some website work too. Soon, though, Khaled advised me to change the place as he didn’t have much work for me, the promised cob work was not possible due to rain and he wasn’t happy to see me doing the hard work at carving and caring the debris out, which I choose to do, he actually didn’t asked me to do this. He did take me to a neighbor family who has a women organization. I spent one week there in the family teaching the daughters English and I had some delicious breakfasts with them.

I wish I could experience that effervescent atmosphere that I read about in the feedbacks and I expressed that to Khaled, he understood, but this time it was only me there, he offered me as much as he could. I very much appreciated the direct, sincere and easy communication with Khaled. I am grateful for accepting me and for the time spent there! Maybe I can come back to do some cob work, sometimes, along with a group of volunteers! I am curious to see how the place changes as there are so many nice constructions in work there!

Shukran, Khaled!

It was great to be part of the construction. It is a beautiful place, almost completly ready when we arrived. Khaled warmly welcomed us with all we needed. He is a very interesting person to discuss with, funny and open minded. It was also very cool to meet the 2 workers on site. Even if we didnt share the language with them, we could have a great… read more

I spent 3 weeks working for Khaled and the team around the Eco village, and I loved every second of it. The project is placed on top of a "mountain" with an incredible view over the whole valley. Khaled is an impressive man, with lots of talents. First of all he makes the most delicious food you'll ever get during your stay in Jordan. He's a very… read more
