Had a good time with Shirin and 3 other volunteers during my 1 week stay. Did physical work in the forest (digging drains, spreading compost, cutting weeds) and picked up a few things about tropical fruit trees along the way. As a host, Shirin was kind and generous, especially with all the malaisian food she had me taste!
