Summary
I have always absolutely loved my times at Atsitsa and been hugely impressed by the cheerful attitude and efficiency of the work scholars. I know Nora and Emma well and would welcome the opportunity to be a work scholar or work with the children on activities. I am an early riser, fit and healthy and love the outdoors. I enjoy working both as part of a team and individually. I fully appreciate that being a work scholar is not the same as being on holiday, but am confident that the heart cannot be taken out of Atsitsa and would love to be part of the process that delivers your exceptional holidays.
