Short Term Volunteering
To be a short term volunteer, you must be prepared for anything, flexibility is the name of the game! Above all you must be keen and used to hard work. Short term volunteers should plan a minimum stay of 4 weeks (working holiday offer now for 2-4 weeks, see below), and can stay for up to 3 months.  You must provide a CV and two references. Minimum age 18 years - no maximum!
