Program Details
This experience is about human connection. You’ll become part of a local family’s daily life, while helping us amplify authentic stories from the community.
Your creative contribution — whether a photo, a short video, or a voice recording — helps support real impact. It allows us to share powerful moments, fund local initiatives, and inspire others to engage more consciously with the world.
This isn’t a traditional volunteer program — it’s an invitation to slow down, stay present, and co-create something meaningful with your hosts🤝
Activities & Shift
Your contributions are light, flexible, and creative. Around 2 hours per day, you might:
📸 Take natural photos of daily life in the village
🎥 Film short clips of the environment or family routines
🎤 Record casual conversations or interviews
📝 Share notes, reflections, or ideas with our team
There’s no fixed schedule — we value presence over performance. The rest of the day is for you: explore, rest, learn, and connect.
Rules
We ask that you follow a few simple principles to honor the spirit of this experience:
🌿 Respect local customs, dress modestly, and remain open to different ways of life
🌍 Approach everything with curiosity, humility, and care
🤲 Avoid imposing — observe, listen, and participate gently
