Descrição
We are a couple living on what was during 60 years an orangery (a grove of various orange trees) on the outskirts of Tazerka in the Governorate of Nabeul; nowadays, there are only some 20 orange trees left (plus some 50 olive trees that we planted 10 years ago), so there is almost no agricultural activity! But it is nice to be surrounded by fruit trees and other trees that we planted for the pleasure! As well as see around peacocks, a few hens and 3 geese...
The buildings are traditional architecture; our home as well as the bungalow which accommodates volunteers.
We have one farm worker in charge of general maintenance (irrigation, cutting wood, seasonal whitewashing , etc.). So that leaves him little time to do other chores.
That is why we need seasonal volunteers to help with gardening (mostly cleaning and trimming); miscellaneous types of handiwork (among them painting or helping with the traditional annual whitewashing of outer walls).
We have many pets (dogs and cats). So I might sometimes need help for tasks like giving flea treatment or treating earmite problems, or giving a shower to dogs... but of course, cuddling dogs and cats is most welcome!
Helping with cooking or taking in charge cooking meals from time to time is most welcome too!
I enjoy hosting Workawayers also for cultural exchange, including hearing about their travel experiences!Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Volunteers will have the opportunity to stay in a traditional farm in a very pleasant region, along the seaside close to a village, Tazerka; to go sightseeing at a reasonable distance (Nabeul / Hammamet / Kelibia / Kerkouane / Haouaria); to go to the weekly markets of the nearby city. They will discover local food. And get first hand information on the Tunisian way of life.
Ajuda
Help is mostly needed from October to April.
Most of the farm work is done by our permanent employee but we do need extra help from time to time for some light tasks.
Other help needed:
1/ Miscellanious such as - gardening (cleaning, trimming bushes and hedges) /- storing and reorganizing /- wall or furniture painting light tasks /- light handiwork such as drilling holes in a wall to fix a shelf.
2/ We have quite a number of cats and (less) dogs, which means getting supplies for them, feeding them and caring for them, treating them agains flees, giving a bath to the dogs, etc.Idiomas

Interested to share mine (French)Acomodação
There is an independent bungalow close to ou house to accommodate volunteers (including bathroom and kitchen equipped with fridge & electric coffee machine). Plus a veranda. Internet connection is available.
Volunteers prepare their own breakfast with food provided by me (and have it at the bungalow). And they have lunch and dinner with me at our home.Algo mais...
On free time it is easy for volunteers to go out to short distance places like Korba (just out of Korba is the Africa Jade center including shops, restaurant, coffee shop) or Nabeul or Hammamet. Collective taxis are available and the fares are very cheap. At warm periods of the year it is possible to swim in the sea (1.5 km from here). Also for those interested by birdwatching, there are four wetlands along the shore close by, the nearest being along the beach of Tazarka, the village nearby, hosting many species of wild birds.

We usually have volunteers in their twenties or thirties, so it was very interesting and valuable to host a more mature person, with an impressing professional experience!
