Logi, mat och transporter
Volunteers’ House is a traditional cob building, surrounded by a garden, with the pleasant shadow of old walnut trees. The house has a central common kitchen and a bathroom. There are 4 bedrooms. The terrace space serves as an outside living room. Volunteers cook for themselves. They can get some local ingredients, and once a week go for shopping to the town of Tamási 25 kms away. We provide a bicycle to get around in the village. There are plenty of community gatherings for reflection and fun. Look at this 9-minute video from 2021 to get inspired! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrgQNMWkfGA

Deltagarens profil
We expect our volunteers to be open-minded. Ready to share experiences in a small community. Come to us if you want to spend a few months in a quiet, peaceful Hungarian village with 400 inhabitants. In the village there is an informal, organic network of ecologically oriented people, including a few people in their twenties - it is good if you are interested to get to know them! Be ready to help at partly self-sufficient, ecological, family-sized farms, and join their gatherings. You should communicate in English considerably well. One of the four volunteers is usually a person from Hungary, and the three others come from abroad.
