Aach is a small village not far from Trier. After a very positive experience in 2017, they are looking forward to welcoming again international volunteers to improve the infrastructure of the village. Both aspects are quite important for the local community: the exchange with international volunteers and their concrete support. The village is situated in a deep valley, the different houses climb up the steep hills.

Work: Help the villagers to maintain their local heritage and infrastructure! Some renovation work is already planned on the former Jewish cemetery and on the current one. Also, you will set up wooden benches and tables in front of the community centre (your accommodation). Other tasks in the field of renovation and landscape protection will be added.

Accomodation and food: You will be accommodated in a community centre; the rooms are called "family barn". Usually these rooms are offered to people in the village to celebrate big birthday parties or similar events, or to local initiatives for trainings. There is also a small kitchen and you can use the bathrooms of the sportshall which is in the same building.

Location: Aach bei Trier

Location and Leisure: Aach is a village with approx. 1.000 inhabitants not far from Trier in Western Germany, near the border to Luxemburg. It offers several pubs (but no shops), friendly people and a beautiful landscape. You can go hiking, make barbecues, discover nature, and have different activities together with locals (they are already very curiously waiting for you). The number of excursions will be limited due to the poor local transport but for sure you will visit Trier, the oldest German city with many Roman sights (as Porta Nigra), a famous cathedral, many clubs and events...
