Program Details

As we are new to establishing a homestay in the Tribal Himalayas we will need someone who interacts with our guests, makes connections & help us handle our social media marketing by posting good content. The person shall be open to providing suggestions & help to make the tribal community learn new ways to strengthen community bonding.

Activities & Shift

We are pretty much flexible. Usually, the day starts with checking out guests and then the entire day is almost used either greeting new guests or preparing social media content. The volunteer can explore villages & communities around while working too.

Rules

Since this is a Tribal village hence the person shall be respectful to the Culture & customs of villagers. No loud music & any kind of intoxication is allowed inside the premises. One can enjoy parties in a group setting.
