Here are some pictures of our dinner yesterday with NesoMi helpers who were on site. They wanted something typical from Thuringia. So there was a cold & warm slaughter plate. Different blood sausage, liver sausage, brawn, boiled belly meat and bratwurst with fried sauerkraut. In addition fresh farmhouse bread and jacket potatoes.
As you can see our helpers are well looked after. After the meal we discussed how and when which work will be continued. On the donation account for the extension of the first flat there are still more than 3000 € and now the extension is also starting. First the electrical system will be checked and if necessary renewed, then new radiators and pipes will be installed and then the walls will be plastered again. At the end a new floor covering will be installed in the apartment.
I hope that this year the first people who can otherwise never afford it will be able to spend a free holiday there.
NesoMi, together with its supporters and the soon to be 180.000 members in all groups, you are creating something great that will strengthen the social cohesion in the society.

Holidays against hand belongs to NesoMi - network social togetherness. This group has about 130.000 active members.
What is holiday against hand ?
Not everybody has the possibility to afford a nice holiday. Or the desire to sit alone in a hotel room. Some also prefer to work in their free time rather than visiting cities or lying on the beach. On the other hand, there are people with big plans for house, yard or garden and always far too little time. Some may just be looking for a little company. Others don't want to give their beloved pet to a pet hotel during the holiday season, but would still like to travel. image.png "Holidays against hand" is like a mixture of work & travel and neighbourhood help.
The principle of holiday against hand
The principle can bring together a wide variety of interests: helping on the farm, permaculture cultivation, painting sheds or house sitting. Positive experience reports show that Urlaub gegen Hand has already brought many people together and made them happy. At last there is a holiday in it, the animals are well cared for, a work is done that has waited far too long for implementation. Despite all the euphoria for the great offer: The Facebook page of NesoMi only allows getting to know each other.
Security or basis of trust?
Security can't be guaranteed - a good portion of trust and the realization that it might not be a good idea to go on holiday with a hand is required. For a meeting to be successful, both sides should know as exactly as possible what they are getting into. In addition to a great deal of openness, it is also advisable to formulate exactly what you want from your UgH. If you are submitting an offer, you should make sure that the work you want to do is manageable so that the holiday aspect is not neglected.
In order to get a first impression of the potential guest or host, it can also be useful to take a look at the Facebook page of the person opposite. After the first contact, a lot should be written and/or spoken, a few pictures will certainly help. All in all, Urlaub gegen Hand is a great way to get to know other people, do something new, do something meaningful or even meet foreign cultures. You should just try it - it's worth it!

What are the goals of NesoMi?
Areas where we want to become active:
- Holidays for destitute people (permanent renting of holiday homes, contact to commercial landlords in order to be able to rent properties at short notice and at a reduced price in case of booking gaps or in the low season)
- Holidays for people with a handicap (permanent renting of holiday properties, contact with commercial landlords to be able to rent properties at short notice and at a discount in case of booking gaps or in the low season)
- Leave for people who have suffered a stroke of fate (for example, coping with grief - trained social workers are to provide care if s is desired)
- Small events for lonely people (mediation of contacts via various platforms, subsidisation of meetings in smaller or larger settings)
- Neighbourhood assistance
- Voluntary help in old people's & nursing homes.
These are just some of the things we'd like to do.
