ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE
AVENTURA MARAO CLUBE
AMARANTE, Portugal
Beskrivelse
The volunteers will collaborate with local organic farmers in the Amarante region to support environmentally sustainable practices and community development. Their tasks will include harvesting grapes and other seasonal produce, planting, weeding, composting, and preparing natural fertilizers. Volunteers will also assist with farm logistics, contributing to both food production and environmental preservation.
