Program Details

We expect respectful and dedicated volunteers to help us with our project to help maintain and improve our centre. In exchange we will take care of you, give you accommodation, 2 meals a day, pick you up from our closest town and drop you off on your arrival and departure date.

Activities & Shift

We have two volunteers rooms that can each accommodate three to four volunteers of the same gender. Each room has an en-suite bathroom and air conditioning; we also supply FREE WIFI, bedding towels etc. You can prepare your own breakfast between 6am - 8am (food supplied by us) brunch at 10.30 for half an hour, and Lunch is prepared for you for when you finish at 13.30. So that means that you get two meals a day from us . There is a small volunteers kitchen for you to store your own food and prepare your own evening snacks with the foods that you buy. The appliances in your volunteers kitchen are a kettle, toaster, cooker, oven, microwave and a sandwich toasty machine.
