Descrição
Hi, I live just outside of a village/town, 45 mins from the out-skirts of Bogotá. I have 13 dogs picked up from the street or descendants from the street. I have recently started an organic vegetable plot. Half British half Colombian happily settled in Colombia since 2015 after 30 years in UK doing a number of jobs, last being a Foster carer. A great stay for making the transition from abroad to visit the rest of Colombia.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Born in UK my first language is english but fluent in spanish. Colombia is an amazing country and travelling by public transport is fun and economical. In an hour you can be in a swimming pool in a warm and sunny climate. Colombian people are very welcoming and there is a growth in ecohostels. The diversity in Colombia is amazing and there is so much to see.
Ajuda
PLEASE READ TO THE END, THANK YOU! The work is all physically demanding. Help with the dogs being the most helpful, jobs include, feeding, watering, poo scooping, affection, paddock care, grooming , fence repairing, and ground care. Experience is required of dealing with numerous dogs, it isn't like having family dogs more like kennels though they live in a sectioned paddock. Confidence in being around untrained dogs is a MUST. i.e dogs will get out the gate despite you telling them no to. They lunge for their food , don´t sit patiently for you to put it down. All vaccinated .
Also! I have a small plot of land that I would like to plant trees on. I have a veg plot which always needs attention.
At the moment I don't have much time to dedicate to socialising 🥺 but you would be most welcome to spend time at the restaurant with us. There is NO volunteer work available at the restaurant due to Workaway rules.
Help is for 5 hours a day, in exchange for accommodation and a pantry stocked with the basica once a week for you to cook your own food. Any extras you would like on top of what is in the pantry is not included. 2 hours in exchange for accomodation only. I would appreciate the consumption of animal products to be avoided in the house being a vegan household. THREE WEEKS MINIMUM
Please note, volunteers need to be quite self sufficient and be able to get on with the work unsupervised, self motivated and must have experience in the areas required.
Please, please, please, this is accomodation /food costs in exchange for work! I do expect the hours work to be honoured, there is always lots to do.
