Program Details

As help can sometimes be hard, it is a big plus if you have some experience working in the field, farming, as a mechanic or in construction. Since I’m also interested in languages, it would be great if you spoke Russian, Spanish, Portuguese or French. Right now I'm focused on the vineyard, some tractors need maintenance and there’s some concreting to do. There’s also a side project about sales online of our products, but for this you’ll need to speak German.

You get:
-Accommodation in a private room (you might share with the other volunteer).
-3 meals a day, including breakfast, lunch and dinner.
-2 days off a week to rest or explore the area.
-Internet access.
-Pocket money for some extras (we can discuss this)
