My experience at Dar Hamadi was great! Shams gives you a lot of freedom in what tasks you want to do. The work is independent and you can choose your hours, which leaves a lot of flexibility to do activities in the city. Unfortunately I did not get to meet Shams as he was on mission in Paris, but we stayed in touch and he is very kind and flexible. I had to leave early, and he completely understood. I would definitely recommend an experience here :)

I had a good time volunteering at Chams' place. He and Souma are great people, easygoing and always willing to help. The self-management concept of the house allows flexibility to explore Tunis - which is beautiful! It's a safe and pleasant area to stay. Meals are often shared, you do your own grocery shopping and when cooking it's a good practice to ask if others want to join. Initially I had some trouble sleeping in the pink room due to the thin mattress, but Chams helped me out providing a new mattress! I truly appreciate their support and hospitality!

Volunteering at the host was a great experience and I highly recommend for those who wants to improve self-management and social skills, because you'll be part of a coliving where there's no hierarchy and a lot of individuals will come and go. It's a great place to exercise sense of community, respecting boundaries while sharing space, food, experiences and whatever you can offer. I loved working in the garden and cooking together - it was a fun time and I will remember all members I met during my stay there. A big thanks to Chems and Souma for this experience!

If I had to sum up this experience in one sentence, I'd say that my time at Cham's in the host was the utopia I had always dreamed of as a chef: Being respected as a woman Being treated with kindness Working in a peaceful environment that is a 100% SAFE PLACE for women Cooking with garden-fresh ingredients Not being forced into a rigid management style (here, it's horizontality or nothing 🫶🏽) or nothing 🫶🏽) Non-violent verbal communication Regaining confidence in myself Developing my adaptability Healing from past traumas in the kitchen Being happy AND a chef Rebuilding my self-esteem

Chems was very welcoming and generous towards me and the other volunteers. My stay was enjoyable with plenty of time to explore Tunis around the volunteer work. You can choose the work you want to achieve from a list of things with flexibility around when this is done each day.
