Program Details

We had a great experience with worldpackers during summer, and would like to pursue this great experience of exchange. In October starts the season for planting trees, there is also cleaning and mulching to do in the garden to prepare it for winter. There will also be some old walls that need to be repaired and coating, using traditional techniques and natural materials.
