My name is Natsir and I live with my family in a small village called Rembon - about 8km away from Makale, the main town in Tana Toraja. I am an organic farmer and a teacher. We currently run english classes with the support of Rurise here at our project and surrounding villages
I used to be a volunteer for an international organisation, help children born with cleft palet to receive free surgery. I hope to do this again in the future.
My project is non-profit and is based on the principles of learning, sharing and empowering.
We offer a caring and friendly environment and are open to you helping us in ways that interest you and that match your abilities.
The help needed whilst you're here is a mixture of working in the garden and teaching english in the school.
The garden work involves planting, digging ponds, building paths, harvesting turmeric, coffee and cocoa. Plus whatever is needed for the project at the time!
School lessons operates Monday to Friday in the afternoons. You will be working alongside local volunteers. The english lessons should consist of vocabulary, conversation practice and pronounciation - but remeber to keep the lessons light, fun and engaging.
Although not the expectation, resources for the classroom are greatly appreciated, for example colouring pencils/pens, non-permanent white board markers, A4/A3 white paper, pencil sharpeners, scissors, glue sticks etc. Should you be able to bring something, please contact me prior to your arrival as I will have a better idea of what we are running low on.
While staying with us, we will provide you with three delicious, healthy meals each day, prepared by my lovely wife Diana and daughter Irma (vegans and vegetarians are easily accommodated). You will be staying in one of the 4 bamboo bungalows overlooking the garden. We provide a mattress, a mosquito net, electricity and warm sheets and pillows. The bathroom is local style (cold shower and squat toilet - you will need to bring your own toilet paper ). For laundry please bring your own laundry powder/ gel to clean your clothes (we can provide the water and buckets) :-)
You can reach us by taking a flight to Makassar (UPG) and a direct bus from Makassar Daya Terminal to Makale Terminal. Previous volunteers have booked Litha &Co and also Borlindo.
When arriving into Makale, you will be able to find drivers willing to take you to our project and stating Natsir Eco Project.
Alternatively, the Grab App can be used.
