The experience

We lived with our family here. Unfortunatly our family moved to tagounite because of the waterproblem. But we love it here so much, we came back 4 years ago to live here. So we are looking for people who want to help us build the house. We live in a traditional house (Kasbah), it has bedrooms, living room, kitchen, toilet, garden and enough space to relax.
Now we need help with making bricks, carry stones, building a new kitchen, fixing walls etc
