Work
We open our doors to visitors offering them the chance to experience an alternative lifestyle and live within a traditional Keralan family. Most guests find this a most enlightening experience, far from the tourist crowd. During this time, we ask that you help in any way you can to the development and maintenance of the centre. Volunteers are our biggest need. We need administrative volunteers for planning and implementation of long and short-term projects such as nature camps and green health programmes. These volunteers would also help with international correspondence, computer work, preparing newsletters, booklets, leaflets and handbooks. Workawayers can get involved in alternative lifestyle projects, including herbal medicine, yoga, meditation and Kerala cooking. There is also an opportunity to teach English to local students
