Smokinya Foundation

Opis
Smokinya Foundation offers a 6-12 months experience in rural Bulgaria. This project includes shared responsibilities, communal living, and collaboration in the foundation tasks. This summer we focus on environment, sustainability and local impact. We will focus on revitalization of local hiking trails. If your goal is free travel and vacation, this project is not for you. Mrachenik is isolated and small, no bars, atms, pharmacies, 1 small shop (cash only). Life can be demanding in a rural village a requires adaptability. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow as a person, both in skills and capacity. Over 300 young people from 20+ countries have joined us so far to learn, grow, and leave their mark.
