Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers can benefit from cultural exchange in many ways. They can learn about different cultures, customs, and traditions. They can also learn new languages and gain new perspectives on life. Cultural exchange programs can help travellers develop a deeper understanding of the world around them and foster greater empathy and respect for other cultures. Travellers can also gain valuable skills such as communication, problem-solving and adaptability.

Help
Organic farm:
We are looking for volunteers to help us with our organic farm. We offer community living spaces with shared bathrooms and access to a communal kitchen. We provide three meals a day made from fresh produce from our farm. Our farm is located in a rural area with plenty of hiking and outdoor activities available. Volunteers will help with planting, harvesting, and general farm maintenance. No previous experience is required but volunteers should be physically fit and willing to work hard. We ask the volunteers to have a minimum stay of 2 weeks, however, if you're going to be spending less time in the area, dont hesitate to reach out and ask about our availability. English and french are spoken at the farm.
Main house:
Currently most of our work is at the main house, we have many tasks to do with the house and it's garden. Outside the house we water the plants and take care of the garden, build up and repair the old wall with mud, build some rooms and also build and fix the animal shelter. Inside the house we ask help for basic daily things (like cleaning, dishes) and also with painting the walls of our big salon room and to improve the place in general.

Accommodation
You will be located inside our house in the small and vibrant local town of Tagounite, with its own peaceful oasis garden. The center of town and the oasis Draa are both just behind 5 min walking. The house is big enough for many volunteers and you can still find some peaceful place to relax when you need it. We have several rooms for mixed workers and some private rooms also during the quiet work periods. We wash our clothes, dishes and even ourselves by traditional way. We cook our Moroccan food 3 times a day and the traditional food is made with natural ingredients.
What else ...
Tagounite has one main street where you can find most shops. There is Souk in town every Thursday and Sunday in the morning until about 1 pm. You can also visit Hammam, Kasbahs, oasis Draa, Sahara desert and many more. It is easy to get to Tagounite by bus companies like CTM that arrives to the town center around 9 pm everyday.
