Farming: our Association in cooperation with the youth council bought a farm house with a huge garden. The farm house is very traditional, old and dirty. It is needed to renovate it. Before renovation, we need helping hands to clean it, take out all the things which is not needed there anymore. The volunteers will help in the cleaning process next to different professionals who will explain them the different elements of the farm and lead the cleaning process. This will be a real physical work with lots dirt!
