Program Details
🤝 What I expect from volunteers:
I’m looking for friendly, positive, and responsible people who are happy to help and be part of the daily life on the farm. The work is hands-on (harvesting, simple tasks, and helping with small building projects), but no experience is needed — just a good attitude and willingness to learn.
Being open-minded and adaptable is important, as life in the jungle is simple and close to nature.
🌿 What you can expect from me:
I will provide accommodation and basic meals, and make sure you feel welcome and part of the project. I’ll guide you with the tasks and support you during your stay.
This is a relaxed but meaningful experience where you can disconnect, learn new things, and enjoy nature while helping in a growing project.
Activities & Shift
🛠️ Activities:
• Mandarin harvesting and fruit sorting

• Land maintenance and cleaning
• Helping with cabin construction (basic tasks)
• Supporting small projects like building a natural pool, fish pond (pisciculture), and beekeeping areas

🕒 Schedule:
• 4 to 5 hours per day
