VOLUNTEERS

The key idea behind all activities in Bela Rechka is volunteering. Everybody is welcome to visit us and to work as volunteer to help in gardening and keeping the green areas and the nature clean or to help the local elder people.  Our main partner since 2008 is the International Bauorden Organisation http://www.bauorden.de/. Here are the projects we have accomplished together:
