Phil is extremely knowledgeable about all things permaculture and syntropic agriculture. If you would like to learn by doing, this is an amazing opportunity to do just that. Helen also makes amazing meals which are appreciated after what is often quite physical work. There is not much to do in the area so you need to be keen to work, to learn and to enjoy a quiet lifestyle. Accommodation is private and nice enough. Hours are often a bit longer than indicated here but as Phil always gives you new tasks to work on and is happy to explain everything, the days go by quite fast. Thank you both!

My personal experience differed from what I had anticipated and from what previous volunteers described. I arrived during an intense heatwave and was the only volunteer present. The workload amounted to roughly 8 hours a day, significantly more than the 25-hour weekly agreement. When I raised concerns about a 40-hour work week, Phil stated I would be expected to complete all assigned tasks regardless of the hours it took, and that if I disagreed I could leave. This response made me feel uncomfortable, especially given our prior agreement. I ultimately chose to leave the placement a week early

Depois de dois dias de trabalho este voluntário exigiu dois dias de descanso, o que foi inconveniente ao que estávamos fazendo. Ele alegou que suas horas eram longas, mas devido ao calor estávamos fazendo trabalhos leves na sombra e fizemos uma pausa para o almoço muito longa; a menos que ele contasse com a pausa para o almoço, não sei como ele achava ter trabalhado 8h. Depois de seus dois dias de descanso, ele pediu reduzir as horas; em 4 dias ele havia trabalhado menos da metade das 25h, então julguei-o por estar tirando vantagem de nossa hospitalidade e pedi que saísse.
