  1. When will your volunteer session be in 2013? Can you plea send me details, and would this be appropriate to have my children join me who are 11and 17?

  2. Dear Ana, thank you for your interest! 11 and 17 are fine for http://www.dragodid.org/izvjestaj-suhozidi-vranskog-jezera-2012/ kind of workshops. We don’t know yet the exact schedule for next year, but workshops of this kind are mostly held between April and October. We’ll announce the public dry-stone workshop, wheather ours or our partners’, and if you want, we can add you to our mailing list as well.

  3. Draga Ana,
    kako ste?

    Uccim hrvatski jezik… I hope to get better…
    well, a great wish from me is, to have alonger stay in Croatia… longer than holidays and maybe, if I will find a place
    we’d like to stay for a few years – so God will!!!
    For that reason I’m always looking for good contacts and opportunities to build a “bridge” – a starting point from wich I can look for a house…
    that’s why volunteering is a good opportunity for that plan!
    I’m interested in all things about building drywalls, stone houses… gardening, and my favourite is cleaning the beaches 🙂
    Maybe you have an advice for me :))

    I am 52 yrs, female and live in Austria… I’m allready retired so I don’t have earn money…
    my longtime partner will come with me… he’s an allround craftsman, but learnt plumper and later much woodwork and swimmingpool building… ah, btw – I learnt to build swimming ponds… biological of cousre something like biotopes…

    I look very much forward to hear from you!!!
    Kind regards from Austria
    Hedi

    I can recommend a few great volunteering places and events in 2017 that are already announced, such as:

    – Gea Viva on Brač island. See here: http://www.geaviva.net/
