Dynamic and creative carpenters, in Thailand

The experience

We set up a project to teach natural and sustainable building techniques, especially earth, in Northern Thailand. We need volunteers who could be either young carpenters by trade or handymen with experience working with wood, to make:
- Simple wood tables
- Wood structure to install a double roof (5m X6m roof)
You can also stay a few more days to help us to build a room with earth.
Work from 8.30 AM to 12PM and 14 to 17.30, 3 days off per week.
