Jo and I are both long term residents of Vanuatu. Our Farm is being developed to be a working superannuation for Joe and myself, as well as a long term income for all the families involved. The tourist side of the venture is called Eden on the River, as is being connected to Paradise. My philosophy is not so much the need to be totally organic but definitely "Clean and Green". The property is 18 hectares and we operate quite a diverse operation from 1800 free range chickens producing eggs, free range pigs, tropical fruit, asparagus production, to our latest venture, tourism. We have a “petting zoo nearing completion” as well as other things on the burner.

Option 1. Torewa is an indigenous community of Quechua-Lecos indians that is located in the heart of Madidi National Park in Bolivia, surrounded by a million and a half hectares of protected Amazon rainforest. We offer a very unique type of community volunteering where you can stay from two weeks to two months in one of the largest protected Amazon regions in the world. Animal encounters here are surely beyond what may be experienced in other areas and reserves of smaller size. This is a unique possibility to travel deep inside the Amazon to one of it's largest and best preserved areas and volunteer in a true isolated indigenous community. surrounded by endles extyensions of untouched primary tropical Amazon rainfroest.There is no electricity, running water, or any services whatsoever. This is not the type of easy volunteering for people that search free lodging and food. This is an once in a lifetime nature experience that is waiting for only but a few. To come here you are asked to bring food supplies,and transportation is difficult since you need to either hire a shuttle boat or wait for some days for a boat to take you there. Speaking some spanish is required. Option 2. Working in a tour agency in the town of Rurrenabaque that offers tours to madidi national park.

*** Now looking for helpers in March *** Bonjour! We are Dalila (french), Pete (english), Emilie (3 years old) and Sidney (born in august 2011). Our place is an old château set in 29 acres of meadow, in the Pyrénées mountains, 1h30 south of Toulouse. We've finished renovating the interior of the château in 2009, and with sustainability in mind, installed solar panels for hot water, photovoltaic panels for electricity, rain water collection, composting. We're using our own wood for cooking and heating in the winter; and using fruits and vegs from our garden in the summer months. We're now onto our next projects of renovating the outbuildings, landscaping the garden and generally maintaining the grounds of the property. We are looking for enthusiastic, energetic people who enjoy physical work, being outdoors, who show initiative and are fairly independant, as we both work from a home office and looking after our little ones keeps us busy! Experience of using chainsaw and power tools is necessary! The help we need includes: - chainsaw, cut and split wood for heating next winter - tidy the grounds (weeding, strimming etc) - cut and clear out dead trees across the property - render and joint newly built stone walls - prepare our veg patch for planting - ongoing building work to renovate the outbuilding (windows, put up beams for flooring, etc.) - spring clean the house (windows, chandeliers, etc)

We are 2 life long friends of 35 years old, who started this project to create a self sustainable oasis along side the river: "Riberna de Odeceixe". We are developing a wellness eco retreat centre that we'll be used for many things but it's all about nature and greenness and self sustainability. We're situated 5 km's from the beach and of course we love surfing just as much as we love creating together in nature. We just started our third season of starting from nothing and we have now apart from the basic facilities many more things done but lots to be done and so we are welcoming a new crew for this year from all over the world to carry on what we started. The gardening, landscaping & natural building is what we're in need of most. So especially skill full people are super welcome
