Una experiencia divertida en una parte no turistica de Filipinas. La gente del pueblo es amable, y la vida en Algersan muy cálida y familiar. Toto tiene altas cualidades comunicativas y mucha paciencia para explicar y enseñar, está abierto a escuchar y es muy flexible. Compartí con otros voluntarios, hice nuevos amigos, aprendi algunas palabras nuevas y mucho acerca de la flora local. Hay una maga en la cocina que pone todo su amor y creatividad en los platos.

This amazing two weeks was a true hardcore experience. I feel grateful that I met the world of bamboo clump management. I learned many new things, I met my limits, ups and downs and at the end I felt like.. this was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this beautiful place for those who would like to try real hard work. Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to dive in to your world!

You'll get to completely immerse yourself in the remote mountainous village of Alacantera. Toto (the host) is a really great and smart person, willing to help his community by developing an uncommon and unknown way of farming for this area. He will always do his best to make you feel home and to introduce you to the local communities and culture. My work during rainy season was mostly about transplanting fruit trees. IMPORTANT : This place is amazing but you need to be aware that the work is physical, you'll be working either in heat or rain. It doesn't suit to everyone. I highly recommend !

We spent two weeks volunteering in Escalentera, a small village on Iloilo Island, Philippines. We helped Toto, a local farmer, improve and build his bamboo farm. The work was hard but rewarding, and we also connected with the local community and school children. Toto was an excellent mentor, sharing insights about local life and culture while making the experience enjoyable. The village and its surroundings are beautiful, and trying traditional Filipino food was a highlight. This was a truly enriching and memorable experience.

Algersans gave truly everything I wanted and more! I wanted to work reeeally hard, like a real farmer would. I wanted to learn about bamboo, obviously. I wanted to be deeply immersed in local culture. I wanted to be surrounded by nature everyday. I didn't expect to be welcomed by a beautiful community and to feel so safe and loved. I didn't expect to have an opportunity to forage my own food with Ate Emi, a village legend in my opinion 😅 And I didn't expect to form a true friendship with Toto, who was beyond accommodating, generous & accepting. I wish I had more space to write! ♥️

This project is perfect for those who want to explore the possibilities of bamboo and experience the hard work involved in cultivating your own land. Toto is an excellent teacher, who uses the principle of learning by doing, helps you find answers, thoroughly explains the background to his decisions, and open to your ideas as well. If you would also like to see the dynamics of a village and don't mind being a bit isolated, don't hesitate to apply! :)

Toto and his family were amazing hosts! I instantly felt welcomed in their home. Toto was always paying attention to the work you do to make sure you do it correctly & safely. At the same time he let you work by yourself as soon as he got the feeling you could. During the hot days the work was quite tiring, so be prepared for that. The other volunteers were also super fun and I enjoyed doing day trips with them to the beach/etc. Over all it was a very cool experience to get to know the permaculture behind a bamboo farm and I had a lovely time with everyone, see you soon!

My time at Algersans Bamboo Farm provided valuable hands-on learning in sustainable agriculture, with both rewarding moments and opportunities for personal growth. Algersans offers exactly what it promises - real agricultural work in a beautiful Philippine setting. Those seeking a structured volunteer program with modern comforts might find it challenging, while volunteers valuing hands-on learning and cultural immersion will appreciate the experience.
