The experience

We request a daily fee of $7 to support volunteers’ stay and activities. This includes home-cooked meals, comfortable accommodation, and guidance during their time with us. Volunteers may assist in local government schools and a school for children with disabilities, help teachers, and engage with children through learning and creative activities.

Alongside volunteering, they become part of our family life—sharing meals, conversations, festivals
