Eu me sinto tão sortudo por poder vivenciar minha primeira experiência de voluntariado em Dhamma Yanto, com Mill, Rose e Uttama. Em primeiro lugar, Mill é um anfitrião maravilhoso. Senti-me muito acolhido desde o primeiro minuto, e ele fez tudo o que pôde para me acomodar da melhor forma, enquanto também me mostrou muita cultura tailandesa. Tivemos as melhores conversas. Sua irmã Rose é tão doce e uma cozinheira incrível. Uttama foi muito divertido de trabalhar, mesmo que não falemos a mesma língua. O santuário é lindo, e os animais são tão dóceis e bem cuidados. Muito obrigado por esta viagem incrível. Voltarei!!!

Esta é a minha segunda vez fazendo voluntariado aqui. É sempre um prazer trabalhar neste ambiente, e a comida é sempre deliciosa. Mill está sempre ansioso para apresentar a você novas facetas da cultura tailandesa. Songkran é sempre muito divertido, e os animais são sempre tão adoráveis. Recomendo muito esta oportunidade de voluntariado se você quiser uma experiência única e imersiva na cultura tailandesa!

Eu tive o tempo mais incrível aqui!! Conheci pessoas amáveis e maravilhosas que tornaram a experiência inesquecível. Os animais da fazenda são tão divertidos de conviver com eles e de ajudar a cuidar deles. É um lugar lindo e uma ótima experiência que eu recomendaria a qualquer pessoa que ame a natureza e os animais. Foi muito difícil ir embora!!!

O melhor projeto em que já estive, Mill é um anfitrião incrível, não apenas por fornecer toda a atenção de que um voluntário pode precisar, mas por ir muito além do que parece um projeto. Desde o primeiro dia, eu me senti acolhido, até o ponto de não termos nem começado a trabalhar no terreno, já que houve uma cerimônia budista com centenas de pessoas nos arredores de uma cidade próxima, o que significou que pude ver o que era real. Os animais pelos quais ele cuida tanto, a natureza hipnotizante ao redor, os pôr do sol de tirar o fôlego, não tenho espaço suficiente aqui para escrever tudo... E a comida! Mill é um MasterChef!

Mill é um anfitrião fantástico. Ele estava sempre pronto para responder perguntas e compartilhar seu conhecimento sobre a cultura, e rimos muito também. Durante nossos dias de folga, ele sugeriu várias atividades.
Sua irmã Rose preparou refeições excepcionais para nós ! Songkran, que cuida dos animais, é muito trabalhador e divertido. Mesmo não falando inglês, ele faz tudo o que pode para garantir que você entenda as tarefas.
Eu recomendo essa experiência a quem quer uma aventura autêntica, estando com os locais e os animais.
Já sinto saudades deste lugar! Obrigado por tudo! Espero vê-lo novamente!

The group will experience two types of accommodation to enhance the journey. For the main portion of the trip, the stay is at the project's center, which features traveler-exclusive housing. This includes a mixed-gender dorm for up to 8 people and two other shared rooms (up to 2 people each). In the middle of the experience (Days 3 and 4), the group will stay at a dome-style temporary accommodation within a National Park, which can host 8-12 people. All lodging is within walking distance of the activities, offering dedicated workspaces and shared bathrooms that are kept absolutely clean, though they only have cold showers.

Prepare for a culinary journey featuring healthy, locally sourced Thai cuisine. Meals are served buffet-style most of the time, prepared either by the host team at base camp or by local cooks during excursions. The host team handles all lunches and dinners, and breakfast is always served buffet-style. As a special highlight, you can enjoy basic Thai cooking lessons at the base camp. The kitchen is vegetarian-friendly and can easily accommodate various food allergies and restrictions if informed in advance. Additionally, travelers will have open access to a kitchen if they need to prepare anything for themselves.
Arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok and connect with your representative around 12:30 PM, who will take the group directly to the project. Check-in and pickup logistics are fully managed by the host team on arrival day, followed by your immersion, and a direct return shuttle to the airport is included at departure. Full details are in your program guide once your spot is confirmed!
The core of this experience is led by a dedicated individual, inspired by a lifelong passion for service, moral values, and nature. This mission-driven host has channeled their personal journey of inner growth and compassionate action into creating a meditation center and animal sanctuary. This project is a living sanctuary where people can heal, learn, and reconnect with themselves and nature. The host's work is deeply rooted in supporting the local community—transforming the center for traditional festivals, offering free entertainment and food to locals, and providing support, including free therapy, meals, and supplies, to a local artistic school for almost 300 children from low-income families, many of whom are deaf or blind. The local team includes an employee responsible for animal care and basic medical attention, as well as plant and tree maintenance.

Your destination is a stunning, lesser-known stretch of the Riviera Nayarit on the Pacific coast of Mexico. This region is famous for its untouched beaches, lush jungle backdrop, and laid-back, authentic coastal communities. It’s a tranquil paradise, far from the large resorts, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the ocean tides. This immersive location provides the perfect context for deep conservation work and genuine connection with the local culture and pristine nature.
The project’s central challenge is the poor soil condition, which suffers from rapid topsoil erosion during heavy rains. Travelers play a crucial role in tackling this long-standing issue by contributing their labor to build water barriers and assist in transplanting trees into manure-enriched areas. This work is vital for improving the ecosystem and allowing agriculture to flourish. Furthermore, the group's presence provides essential financial support for animal shelter maintenance, food, hay, and veterinary supplies, directly supporting the sanctuary’s mission to care for its animals and serve the surrounding community through charity and cultural events.
Travelers assist the project in its partnership efforts by supporting the expansion of chemical-free livestock raising and kitchen gardens. This model is shared with local villagers through training, helping them adopt sustainable practices, generate good income, and actively work to reduce poverty and social inequality.
Travelers contribute to well-being by helping to grow chemical-free plants at the center. This commitment enhances the natural ecosystem, ensuring animals are safe and that crops, grass, and food remain free from harmful substances, promoting better health for all inhabitants and the wider community.
By supporting the project's agriculture, travelers help create job opportunities for local villagers and government agencies. Growing chemical-free crops allows for premium pricing, directly increasing the income of the villagers and contributing to a more sustainable local economy.
