Burkei Reserva Naturales

Our language is English but in a Spanish speaking community.

The goal is to build a life that we don't need a vacation from.

We believe the local culture, crime, education, social structure, economic outlook, employment and conservation could be interesting material for discussion. Also, the project itself will provide material for discussions and learning on a range of topics.

The sustainable methods that we use have been adopted to suit the environmental conditions and needs of the project and new methods are also being tested to improve our efficiency. The team members will have the opportunity to have first hand experience in applying sustainable methods that can be adapted and used under different circumstances.

We pride ourselves with the outcome we have due to our approach to the local soil and climate challenges, and can transfer the knowledge gained to our team members.

The current facilities includes - * Basic Lodging in the forest for up to six people in a shared room with shared ablutions fed with hot and cold water, * Solar power, * Paid for Laundry Service, * Good wi-fi for e-mails, messaging, suitable for video streaming or uploading photos, * Shared area for reading or just relaxing in hammocks. Three basic (not vegan or vegetarian) nutritious meals will be provided on the days that you work (Mondays to Friday) by preparing the meals with the ingredients the host provides. This is so that the volunteers have full control over their time after work and also allows them to prepare and eat the meals they prefer. On your days off (Saturday and Sunday) you will provide ingredients to prepare your own meals. Drinks and snacks will be for the volunteer's own account. Any special dietary requirements (allergies / vegan / vegetarian) needs to be provided by the volunteer. Shops and stores for provisions are 2 kilometers away. Volunteers are to provide their own toiletries (including toilet paper), washing powder, medication, working clothes, hats, sewing kits, insect repellent and sunscreen.
