We are renovating and giving life to different spaces at Isuyama Hostel. We need help to create and improve our gardens, plant flowers and tropical plants, clean and organize green areas, paint, decorate bedrooms and common areas, and carry out small repairs and maintenance tasks.
No professional experience is required, only a desire to collaborate, learn and share your ideas.
The collaboration will be 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, with 2 days off. The schedules will be organized in advance by us, according to occupancy and the hostel's needs.
We offer a shared room, lunch during the workday and access to the equipped kitchen and to the laundry area. Some personal items and daily use products must be brought by each volunteer. We also have Wi-Fi, although the connection may vary due to weather conditions and our location in the Peruvian jungle.
