Wenn ich mehr Anfragen haben will, setze ich unser Profil nach oben auf die Liste, das kann man bei workaway machen. Ich kriege dann immer gleich neue Anfragen. Man könnte auch aktiv auf die Suche gehen und geeignet aussehende Leute anschreiben.There are many things to do for all kinds of skills and preferences, for example:
Take care of quails and cats, kill slugs, clean holiday flat, cultivate vegetables und construct occasionally things for the house and the garden. Not extremely hard tasks (Nothing that I don't do myself - I'm a woman in my 40s).
We provide room and food, preferably from my own biological garden, and free beer, if you like. We ask for 25 hours a week, not including your share of housework.
So far, we had a lot of fun with almost all of my volunteers, who were all very different in characters and abilities. If you enjoy participation in whatever you take on, you will have a lot of fun.
However there are things you should know for example:
- We do not buy fashionable food that is coming from far away or veggies out of season (except once in a while)
- We do not cook vegan or vegetarian food (as this would exclude most regional food of our area) but we usually eat meat from our own animals or from farmers that we know
- We do not offer endless bonfire discussions until late in the night (we are not some sort of "community")
- We do not have more than one volunteer (or couple) at the same time
- We expect you to organize yourself in your free time on your own (outdoor activities, having fun in the village)
Das heisst aber nicht, dass sich wegen dieser Beschreibung immer nur die richtigen Leute melden, weil viele die Beschreibung gar nicht lesen. Aber wenn sich jemand über die "Things you should know" -Sektion amüsiert, ist das schon mal ein gutes Zeichen
Jedenfalls machen wir im Zweifelsfall die Arbeit lieber alleine, als uns zu ärgern.
