  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Bhaktapur is a historical city full of stories and monuments. I was born and raised here. I enjoy sharing my culture and city with travelers from a local prespective.
  
  I'm actively working on different community projects, charity's and networking with local businesses so you will have the opportunity to meet a lot of locals.
  
  We have many festivals in Bhaktapur and often enjoy walking around the city exploring with guests, drinking tea or grabbing a beer and sitting at the square.

  Help

  We are in the very beginning stages of the farm project.
  We would love 4 weeks minimum of helping hands. Its important to have a team of self motivated leaders who are passionate about the project and want to make a difference.
  
  Whats something below you could see youself doing?
  
  1: Construction
  If you are skilled in carpentry, woodwork and sanding we have plently of building projects, like building a farm house, green house and animal shelters.
  
  2: Website Developer / Admin
  We need a website to showcase our beautiful projects. Preferably would like someone who is proficient in English.
  Photography, creating content for social media, answering emails and website.
  
  3: Farm work
  We are at the beginning stages of our farm.
  -Constructing a small organic vegetable garden.
  -Building fences, digging, planting, weeding and clearing land.
  
  4: Maintenance
  We need an all round handy woman or man to help with the upkeep in the hostel. Someone who has a great eye for detail and can take initiative. This could include changing bed sheets, keeping common areas clean etc.
  
  
  Switching from task to task daily may be required so being flexible and open minded is necessary.
  
  Please consider that our daily life tasks are not part of the working. (We all clean in our own home so please feel at home!
  
  We are sharing our life with our volunteers so it is very important to us who is joining our family, therefore we always make a video call to know each other better before making our final decision.
  
  I also own a Guesthouse and Hostel in Bhaktapur so sometimes I may not always be around at the farm but we have a group whatsapp where we keep in touch.
  
  Accomodation will be at the hostel untill the lodge and facilities are built at the farm. This is also a nice opportunity to meet other travellers while still making your trip in Nepal a meaningful exprenece.
  
  When applying, please tell us something different that sets YOU appart from everyone else and a idea you could contribute to the project.
