Program Details

There is no such program but we plan to make our house more ecological and energy efficient.

Activities & Shift

The volunteers can work during preferred times and/or depending on the weather. This can be discussed. We are very flexible. The volunteers can spend their time the way they want to. We usually go to the swimming pool on Saturdays, during warm seasons - to Lake Lac-du-Drennec. I go shopping on a regular basis. The nearest shop is 6 km away, the large supermarket is 20 minutes by car. I have a 6 seater and Chris drives an 8 seater van.
