This summer I found this fantastic organization: wwoof ( http://wwoofinternational.org/ ) and I was immediately enthusiastic about this kind of exchange!
The site presents wwoof in this way: "
WWOOF organisations connect people who want to live and learn on organic farms and smallholdings with people who are looking for volunteer help."
After the subscription I've contacted a small farm in Tuscany, near Grosseto, to start my first experience!
And I can say: It was really enthusiastic!
The family was composed by two parents and three childrens which have fantastic names: Maya, Blu and Lumi!
They don't have electricity (and you discover that REALLY you don't need electricity), to illuminate the evening they have solar lamps available, but they've potable water.
Three donkeys, ten goats occupy a lot of their day time, for almost two hour a day one or more of the family gaze the little herd around the beautiful Tuscany land.
I love water the vegetable garden, because it's an activity near to the meditation and it's fantastic create a clod and see this little seeds grow..
I suggest to everyone to take some times and try to live near nature and its power..
