The Experience

Our volunteers help us take care of our chickens, ducks, rabbits, cow and garden on the magical island of Siquijor in the Philippines. You'll learn to clean the animal enclosures, make great thermal and worm compost, mulch/fertilize/water the vegetables, and assist with maintenance and small construction projects. Volunteers work five mornings a week (8am-12pm) (3 days on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off)- we provide coffee/tea and a big brunch on those days.

My first volunteer experience! It was really interesting to learn about permaculture and sustainable living. I'll also miss all the animals. + Jackie and Julia gave great recommendations on what to do on the island on your free time.
