    Description

    We are a small family, my wife and I, with one son 22 years old stay at home. We need volunteers to help us with whatever they could do for the homestay development, especially general maintenance, cleaning and homestay serviçe promotion . We provide raw food for up to four weeks stay and the volunteers need to cook food for themselves at the volunteer's kitchen.
    The volunteers stay at the volunteer's huts. The huts were built with the help of volunteers for volunteers to stay.Extention of stay is negotiable.
    For the time being, we only accept international volunteers.




    Thanks,
    Ismail

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    While the volunteers are here with us, they are exposed to the local lifestyle/way of life and traditions. We expect the volunteers to come with an open mind, an open heart and try to adapt to the way of life of the local people.
    We regard the volunteers as our family members more than as helpers regardless of where they come from, their races and beliefs.
