We have a great possibility for you! We have a sudden opening in one of
our EVS projects, which is already approved!
You won't be alone, there is another volunteer from Spain, also for 12
months.
Description of the organization:
The "Beekhoeve"is a family run, owned and operated organic dairy farm.
The family consists of Koos and Monique van der Laan. They have 3
children aging 2 to 7 years.
The farm is open to occasional volunteers and visitors. We have worked
with WWOOFers (World- Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, an
international volunteer organization).
The target group involves everyone with an interest in farm work, farm
life, nature, the environment and especially organic farming.
The non-profit organization is established in corporation with friends
of the farm, this contains the activities that cannot be developed as a
profit organization. Activities that we want to set up are; a route
where you can experience all the beautiful things of nature; together
with the EVS'er we want to transform the ordinary walking routes into
discovery routes where walkers will experience the beauty of nature; We
want to make a point in the middle of the route where they can find a
lot of information and where they can learn things about nature; the
local plants, frogs, birds, etc. This point will also be the center of
educational activities.. From this central point we would like to
organize group activities around different subjects, maintenance of the
area and set out information points on the routes such as the kind of
animals that are living in the canals/ditches, the typical bird-life,
varieties of grass. .These are activities that the EVS'er can do. The
EVS'er can also do promotion of these activities; create leaflets and
other promotion materials. They can also organize special promotion days
and work out themes for that.
Target groups will be families, older couples and children.
Description of your activities:
EVS volunteers have to join in on the following activities/jobs: flower
garden, vegetable garden, bird watching (sensational), agricultural
nature conservation, prepare and have meals together, yogurt making,
carpentry, general cow maintenance, taking care of the calves, farm life
as broad as it is.
Typical volunteer jobs are: constructing hedges from wood and branches,
forest (bush) maintenance (to provide bird habitat).
Writing experiences on the weblog of weidse buurt, making invitations
and news letters. (optional)
Maintenance of the routes and the information point.
If it happens to be that they have knowledge about IT, and if they like
to do it, they can make a website for stitching. This is not really
a requirement.
Making a new bicycle route through all the local biological farms.
What you can learn:
Learning about local plant and animal life,
Teaching city dwellers about rural life
Be a part in the family life on the farm, see how an organic farm
operates
The possibility to do various jobs on the farm together and under
guidance of the farmers
Explore their own capabilities or limitations in working as a team,
working individually, taking responsibility as a person or as a group.
Find their talents whilst doing various jobs and learning new skills
They will learn about nature (the environment), about healthy food and
about animals.
Your role:
They will be a part of the family. They will help with the animals and
other farm work. Every season has different kind of jobs (for example:
picking fruit, weeding, cutting trees for firewood, feeding and take
care of the cows in the winter). Their role will be also organizing
educational activities, such as developing the information points,
creating new walking routes, maintenance and promotion of the walking
routes, planning educational days, materials for these days, promoting
the continuance of rural life side by side city life. We appreciate
their creativity in this.
