  Beschreibung

  Hey there, we are JonJon and Hanna :)
  
  JonJon is a Filipino, born and raised, but a traveller at heart. He has lived in many places all over the Philippines but about 10 years ago, he made the beautiful island of Malapascua his base. Since then, he’s created many projects and ideas here to help build community like Medical Missions, Feeding Programs for children, eco projects etc. and he found his calling 🤗.
  
  In July 2023, I (Hanna) came to Malapascua for a few days of scuba diving, but when I met JonJon on my first day, everything changed 😅.
  Within my first week we started a Clean-up project called “GreenUp Malapascua” focusing on education, awareness and of course, direct action and Clean-ups. It is a combination of picking up the already existing trash on the island and building systems to reduce waste in the future 🌱.
  
  To create a space for like-minded people and our volunteers for the project, we started building bamboo huts behind JonJons Vegan/vegetarian restaurant, which then turned into a full-grown eco accommodation. 🛖.
  Fortunately enough, we’ve had a wonderful journey so far and met so many wonderful travelers who loved and contributed to our space. But we still have so many ideas how to increase the experience of our guests and volunteers and, let’s be honest, a lot of projects that were ambitiously started but not properly finished 😂
  Now we want to focus on finishing, repairing and upgrading our beautiful community accommodation and also get back on track with our clean-up project. Also, we've recently had the opportunity to grow our business by a new vegan native food place which we are planning to build over the next weeks and open by the start of March 🙌🏻.
  
  That's why we’re looking for motivated, skilled people who want to help us with art, crafts, painting and also help with cleaning our beautiful island 🏝️.
  
  
  PS: YOGA TEACHER wanted - longterm stay 🤗🧘🏽‍♂️.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Filipino culture (tribal culture) is something very close to our hearts, which is why we make education and awareness around it part of our accommodations’ concept. All our huts are named after tribes in the Philippines and have some decorations from them ☺️.
  
  Aside from that, Malapascua is a very multi-cultural island with travellers coming from all over the world 🌏. All the resorts and restaurants are within the village of locals, so you are automatically part of the day-to-day local culture. And all of our staff are Filipino and speak the local language Visayas (and some also speak Tagalog, the official language of the Philippines) 🇵🇭.
  
  Every Saturday at 1pm we have a Feeding Programm for the children of the island, where we teach them music, art, singing, Yoga, Mediation and sustainability. At the end we have some food and juice for them too ☺️. You are more than welcome to join us for that while you’re here. It's such a pleasure to spend time with them and see them grow.
  
  I should also mention that JonJon is an Artist, Musician, DJ and Fire-Dancer and has many like-minded artistic friends around. At his restaurant there is live-music or performance almost every night and we are more than happy to teach you different instruments, arts and crafts like drums, making dreamcatchers, jewelry or even Poi, Ecstatic Dance and Fire dancing 💃🏻🔥🎭🪘. And you are also more than welcome to play, sing and perform with us - if you already have some skills in that.

  Arbeit

  FULL DISCLOSURE: Right now is the high season on the island until early June - so we usually have a lot of help from travelers visiting Malapascua already and don't need additional Workawayers. That's why our calenders are marked RED for now.
  
  The only position we need help with right now are:
  
  🧘🏽‍♂️ Yoga Teacher - longterm stay
  We just finished our upstairs Chill-out and Yoga area at our Community and would love to host regular classes there for our guests and anyone on the island.
  And we also just opened a new beachfront vegan Eatery & Café with a sunset view. It's perfect for sunset Yoga around 4:30/5pm.
  
  > Therefore we are looking for a Yoga teacher who is willing to stay with us for at least 4 weeks (preferably even longer).

  Unterkunft

  Part of our accommodation are 2 'tent”-huts, good for 1 person each and we also have a 2-person dorm. We also have a big spacious tent with a rain fly and another more open room next to our chill-area. These could be places for you to stay. All of them have electricity, outlets, a fan and a mosquito net.
  
  Expect for the tent and open room, all our huts have their own private bathroom with toilets and showers. Our outdoor shower and toilets is also located very close to the other places and since every other room has a private bathroom, these would be used almost exclusively by you (aka not more than 2 people really).
  
  For 3hrs of work a day you get free accommodation and for 4hrs we also include free lunch or free rice.
  If you stay a whole week, work is 5 days a week, so you get Saturday and one other day of your choice off.
  
  Our accommodation also has a big kitchen that you can cook with free water drinking water and a place to store your food. Sometimes we also have dinners or lunch together (with our guests) and fun evening hangouts. We are like family at our accommodation so we hope you feel right at home with us 🤗.
  
  Just outside the accommodation right by the beach, is JonJon's Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant with amazing and affordable food. There is live music every day until 10pm - from either local artists or our tribal jam sessions with lots of drums and native instruments 🪘. We also just opened a vegan Karinderia (local eatery / restaurant) and Café . Affordable local, filipino foods & drinks, right by the beach for sunset and close to the port. We have a feeling it might be a new island favorite 😝.

  Was noch ...

  Malapascua is a beautiful island with a super chill and cozy vibe. There are plenty of bars to have a drink, hang out with like-minded people but also spent some quiet time by the beach.
  It’s especially popular amongst divers because it’s one of the best (and few) places in the world, where you can dive with Thresher Sharks. But there are many beautiful dive sites around too - so if you are a diver, you will LOVE this island for sure! And if not, you could either consider getting your license here (it’s truly such a magical place for diving) or just go swimming and snorkelling with plenty baby sharks 5mins walk from the restaurant :) 
There are also many beaches all over the island - if you prefer a bit of life, stay in the South or go to the North for some quiet time.
  Malapsacua might be small, but people have been known to extend their stay for weeks, months or even years because it’s just such a nice place to live 🤗

  
  How to get here?
  Malapascua is located in the north of Cebu island about 3-5h from Cebu City, depending on your style of transport. It's super easy to get to Malapascua from Cebu City by car, motorcycle, Minivan or public bus (from North Bus terminal) and then a short boat ride (from Maya port). And if you need any help, just tell us where you're coming from and we can help you get here 😉

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  Digital Nomads are always welcome :) In fact, I am one myself and have been working online here for many months. Both the restaurant and our accommodation have wifi.That being said, the speed comes and goes a bit (noone on this island understands) and we do have some power-outs (brown outs) on the island every now and then...

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  There are many dogs on the island, so most people here are already very used to animals and pets being around. We also have a dog, Galaxy, and there usually at least 2-4 more dogs and cats on our property. The family keeps expanding :D
