Descrição
Hi!

My name is Emma-Sunshine and I'm from Switzerland. I just graduated University and figuring out what brings me joy. The first thing what comes to my mind is being in Nature as I did not enjoy studying in a city.

I love being around and working with animals. I grew up riding horses and helping around my aunts farm. I also am good with kids as I have 5 younger sisters, so I have a lot of experience.

I am an active, motivated person that is eager to learn and jump into new experiences.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Emma-Sunshine) para o anfitrião (We welcome volunteers who ...)

I spent the whole month of October on Minjee's farm and absolutely loved it.

Minjee is a single mother and her daughter studies in UB. She is HILARIOUS. I love this woman so much. She incredibly kind and very funny. She is also tough when she needs to be and very straight forward. No bullshit with Minjee. I must say she doesn't get her tone… read more across on text very well. So when you message asking to come and she writes back 'ok' to your paragraph, that means that you can book your tickets and show up.

The volunteers all stay in a house 500 meters from Minjee's house. It's one room so its like a massive sleepover! There's a furnace witch you use to burn the wood to heat the house. I would recommend bringing a sleeping matt because some people were having a little trouble with their beds which where layered thick blankets. The house does get quite dirty but you get used to it quite quickly. The washing up is done outside with water that you have to get at the well. The well in 5 minute walk away, and you go with a partner and a wheelbarrow. Sometimes when you're there nearby cows or horses hear that the tap is on and run to get a drink!

I went with the expectation that it was going to be hard work so I found it to be easy to adjust. I found that the people who came with a different expectation found it more difficult. Farm life doesn't stop for nobody, the cows and horses don't leave for the weekend. The first week we collected all the hay in the fields to be stored for winter. This defiantly was a very tough job but when you understand why you do it, it makes you feel more motivated. If there isn't enough hay, the cows will die during winter. We then fixed up the shelter for the animals so that they are warm and protected during the winter. My last week we focused on clearing and setting up a site for some yurts.

Most mornings we wake up at 8am and two people will go meet Minjee at the 'green house' where you will heard the shows, separate the babies from the mothers and start milking! The others will clean up and make breakfast.

I have to say, most of the Mongolian food was not my FAVOURITE but most of the others did. But the volunteers switch with Minjee on who makes the food. Every once in a while you will go into town and you can buy food and snacks.

I LOVED the toiled. It's an outdoor toilet which faces the beautiful mountain. Absolutely great start the morning.

(Excelente )
