HOOP!
Vandaag, 10 juli, ontvangt Jana een mail van Thierry. Als we het goed begrepen hebben, zijn we daar welkom. Dat zou geweldig zijn. Nog even afwachten op een echte bevestiging. Ook van Sara komt er een mail binnen; zij heeft bij mensen op het eiland die ze kent en van wie ze weet dat ze ook geregeld vrijwilligers vragen, navraag gedaan en ons mail-adres doorgestuurd met de vraag contact met ons op te nemen als we ergens terecht kunnen. Het komt dus zo te zien in orde. OEF!

Bij thuiskomst en vernemen van het slechte nieuws, kruipt Jana meteen in haar pen en mailt onderstaande host.

Ondertussen heb ik ook al naar Sara gemaild (Beyond Vitality) of zij mensen in de buurt weet die ons willen ontvangen als volunteer.

Spannend!

Hi, I'm Thierry. I live at the end of the world in Dominica (Commonwealth). My property is not to far from the beach with a large garden.
I would like to create a dry forest botanic garden and also an organic vegetable garden.
This Ecolodge is using solar electricity and harvesting of rain water.
I'm looking for volunteers to help with these projects, but also to assist in building the lodge.
There is gardening, landscaping, concrete, gardening, carpentry, tiling, gardening, electrical, painting, gardening, plumbing, swimming pool, diving, long chair, gardening, hammock, (the kitchen I often reserve except dishes;-)) and plenty of other things like .... gardening. You tell me what you like.
I'm only engineer (and in electronic), so when i created the "Kabane" it was Spartiate, efficient but not cosy.
Also I need help to paint or decorate the bungalows. You'll probably immediately tell me "ohh, with that there it will be nicer". That's what I mean "The Artistic Touch". If you have that .... you are also welcome.
Even to rebuild the frame of my blog, I don't find time, I keep it for later, when somebody will want to do it.
So plenty opportunities to enjoy.
And I hope you'll improve my English ;-) .
About the work time, the website proposes an average of 4 hours per day, 5 days per week, however in Dominica it's not really efficient. Because, even if the island is very small, the distances, to discover this marvelous island by buses, are too long to do something in the afternoon. So I propose 3 working days of 8 hours (Mon, Wed, Fri) with a long nap during the beginning of the afternoon (often too hot) and the rest of the week free.
You'll have your own bedroom, your meals, and free access to Wifi internet.
You'll probably enjoy the swimming pool warmed by a solar heater, for the long evenings ;)

When i'm not building my Ecolodge, I spend my time guiding tourists in the forest and diving in one of the best preserved sites in the world; I also enjoy preparing delicious dishes. Sometimes I'm flying (with wings and an engine) in Guadeloupe, but it's unfortunate I do not get the opportunity to do it as often that I would like; but I'll find a solution to that.
Ps : Because it's still forbidden in Dominica, Drug smokers are not welcome.

HELP! Paniek
Op 6 juli ontvingen we onderstaande mail. Eerst even opgezocht wat MRSA betekent. Hier beter bekend onder de naam "ziekenhuisbacterie". Niet zo goed dus! Wat nu? Direct op zoek via HelpX naar andere interessante hosts. Ik vind er 3. Maar ja, hebben die interesse? Wachten tot Jana weer thuis is van festival dan kan zij contact leggen. Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a lovely day. Im afraid we have some very unfortunate news for you. We are disappointed tell you that we have been placed in a situation to have to cancel both (July and September) our upcoming Wild & Vital Volunteer Programs. There has been a very severe MRSA (also known as an antibiotic resistant superbug infection/flesh eating disease), going around. It is an outbreak that almost everyone at the camp has gotten, including two of our past volunteers during our last program. We thought we were in the clear, but this past weekend, we had a relapse. This is a very contagious and serious infection. It can become life threatening we had a few close calls. If you are wanting to learn more about it, this is a video our local friend made about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy85bNje-Wo We were hoping it would not come to this, but the decision has been made for everyones best interest and to avoid cancelling our next program right before, as we have had to do for our July program. At the moment, we are incapable of fulfilling our duties as hosts and do not want to risk getting any one else infected. We understand that a lot of planning has probably been done on your side and that you may face some charges for changing/cancelling flights. We do apologize for the short notice it is out of our hands. We will give everyone a full program refund (within 3-4 weeks). Although we are not financially able to take on flight charges, we will offer you a 1-week guest stay free of charge (to be used within one year) for any inconvenience caused OR the chance to participate in a future volunteer program. Again, we do apologize and share any disappointment you may be feeling towards not being able to participate in the program :( If you should still come to Dominica, we hope to meet you in the future, when we have fully recovered from this horrible infection. Please let us know if you have any questions and if we can be of any assistance to you. Take care, Sara Subero Holistic Nutritionist & Natural Movement Coach \| Creatress at Beyond Vitality www.beyondvitality.com
