Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our village consists of approximately 100 people from the Rungus tribe that all belong to one family. The community works together, socialises together and lives together in a subsistence culture. Fishing and gardening are their main sources of food, income & livelihood. They hold strong cultural values and are predominantly Christian. We hope that by staying and working with our family you have the opportunity to experience and enjoy a new culture and lifestyle!
Help
We would love people with experience in building, gardening, landscaping, or tourism and hospitality. We are currently building a chalet which involves cutting trees, building, joinery, landscaping etc.
We areally entering harvest so picking rice padi and gardening work is welcomed, developing and implementing environmental awareness /practices, beach clean ups, spending time with the children and promoting english, skill development with our local employees.
We are always looking for people who just want to get involved and do what they can to help within the village.

What else ...
We have bicycles available for you to use as you please to get around Simpang Mengayau (the area we live in), we also travel into town (Kudat, 20km) almost daily so you're welcome to jump in! The capital city of Sabah is Kota Kinabalu which is 3 hours drive away and an easy, cheap bus ride.
