Osaleja profiil

The volunteers will live together for two weeks, so we look for sociable and respectful people. We do not request any type of experience but we prefer motivated people, sensitive to environmental conservation and eager to learn. Volunteers will have to endure physical work for 5 hours, cook for 12 people (in shifts), make crafts and they will have to be prepared for it. The effectiveness of our team will determine the final outcome; we will work in harmony to overcome challenges and achieve outstanding results.
