Description

Volunteers contribute 20$ a day for food and accommodation. Protopia is a playful and artsy space were volunteers are not contributing to income generation. They are mostly learning through the experience. If a volunteer shows affinity and hard work, than we may offer a full exchange. This is an opportunity to travel on small budget, while connecting with people in the jungle in a comfortable space.

The Experience

Our kitchen is a shared creative space. We’re looking for someone who enjoys cooking, experimenting with food, and being part of the daily rhythm of the house. The role is light about 4 hours per day helping with simple meal prep and keeping the kitchen flowing with good energy. Though the role is not only in the kitchen. The volunteer can take part on all projects of the community, such as farming, building, doing arts, offering talents etc.

My stay in the community was spectacular. The place is magical, it’s a great home in the middle of the jungle. The facilities are beautiful and comfortable and promote the relationship with the beautiful and wild natural surroundings that surround. The community lives in peace, the work is calm and pleasant, and it promotes the communication, respect and good relationships among all its members. The coordinators were always open to listen to the needs and proposals of each volunteer. It was a constant learning experience about permaculture and also an invitation to learn a lot about oneself.
