FARM LIFE-NATURE, RENOVATION IN FJORD OF WHALES

Since the creation of Worldwide friends, the organization has been looking for the opportunity to set up a project to renovate and work at an old Icelandic farm. The idea of renovating old spaces in the country side of Iceland and especially in areas where there isn t much population is one of the best ideas our organization could develop. In one hand we have the opportunity of giving life to an empty and old space, in the other hand we are bringing life back to the area with the spirit and the ideas of International volunteers which will be very much welcomed by the local community. The first part of this Project will consist on renovating and putting the farm in good shape. There are two building that we have to renovate. The first one is the main house where volunteers will live in the near future. The second house is the storage and workshops where volunteers will keep the paint and other materials.The work on this project is a mix of renovation work and gardening.We will also take care of the property, plant trees, cleaning the area, even cleaning the coast line around the fjord There are a lot farms in the area so the volunteers will have the chance to visit other farms around and therefore to learn about Icelandic farming methods.
