  Ajuda

  Every member here works as a volunteer.
  We mainly look for people to help in the garden. Planting and harvesting fruits and veggies.
  We work from Monday untill Friday and in the weekend you are free to visit Ghent or wherever.
  Sometimes we also need help during events on evenings or in the weekend. If these are events for paying guests, then you are not allowed by workaway to help, only during events with a free contribution to our NPO.
  The total number of working days will not exceed five per week as it is demanded by workaway. So if we have events and need the help of the people who came through workaway, because of a lack of other volunteers, then we will compensate it during the working week.
