Reglas
The ideal candidate will be able to stay at least 3 months. The first month will be a trial month to ensure that you are a good fit for our project, but also that this project is a good fit for you. There could be the option for a longer term paid position after revision.
When you arrive you will receive training for the position, and then you will be expected to work independently (with guidance and assistance if necessary). You will also be cooking alongside other volunteers as your 'sous chef.'
We require that you be a self starter, and are a passionate and driven worker who is here for the project, not just for the free living.
