Activities & Shift

WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE-
Your primary responsibilities will be helping me with our daily group workouts, teaching English in the local native community's high school and housekeeping. On some days, you may be able to help with tree planting, soap making, making coconut oil, gardening, eco-construction, tree nursery, ceramics, and crafts, if you chose to.

We usually have 4 to 8 volunteers staying in dorms.
You will share a dorm and bathrooms, 3 meals a day with the other volunteers.
We usually have pizza night once a week made in our own pizza oven.
We also have sushi night once a week.
Helping hours are only 5 hours a day, 5 days a week.
We have a good relationship with the native communities nearby. You can volunteer to teach English.
After helping we highly recommend going for a swim in the river here, going for a hike in the forest right here, playing football or volleyball in one of our 2 native communities within a 25 minute walk from here, or going for a shorter walk to visit some of our friendly neighbors farms. We usually go sightseeing, hiking on the weekend.

We're not just looking for helpers but also great people to share this beautiful place and experience with.
We are looking for a 2 week stay, then possibly more if it makes sense to both of us.
We have an incredible river with cascades on the property that we are developing as one of our main tourist attractions.

Rules

No smoking in and around common areas and dorms.
