    Hello, everybody!
    First of all, I want to thank you everyone who has made the success of Workaway possible.
    I’m Umar, a fifty-six year’s old, just pension from Government Plantation office work, so yes this is my half-life project.
    About the project:
    The main idea of this Workaway is to have fun in nature and share our knowledge to make every day special and, of course, to have a better world. People come here to have contact with nature and take some for themselves, healing, reading, doing some sports, meditating, and others. This is also your little jungle house, so it feel like home.
    Let’s live earth-friendly lifestyle, taking care of the nature, but always with fun. We try not to use plastic, and if we do, reduce its use and reuse it. We take care of the farm daily and we learn how we can become self-sufficient with forest permaculture methods. Actually, I have three lands of coconut plantation.
    - Camp 1, the Base Camp (less than ½ hectare): Here we have the accommodation (four bungalows that are listed in bnb as a farm stay) and Restaurant (closed at the moment), the kitchen and the course area, where we take advantage to do some classes, such as Virgin Coconut Oil courses and English/Foreign conversations.
    - Camp 2 (four hectares): This camp is peat soil and we plant coconut trees and Nipa Fructicia.
    - Camp 3 (one and a half hectares): This camp is clay soil and we plant rice and other fruits and vegetables when it’s the dry season, if not, it becomes a beautiful jungle.
    This farm is kind of jungle’s lifestyle because trees and plants grow everywhere and some are following its natural course of growth. It’s a very quiet place, surrounded by nature and some other farmhouses. Despite this, it’s only twenty-seven kilometers away from the capital City, Pontianak, and forty-five kilometers away from Supadio International Airport. Near the farm, about eighteen kilometers away, we have the famous equator monument.
    New ideas for our project are always welcome! I learn a lot of my international Workaway’s friends, so we will learn from each other, and for sure, about our culture and daily life.
    Work to do:
    There is always work to do here. This year we are making big changes in our farm.
    - Helping with social media and marketing.
    - Planting some more vegetables (kitchen garden).
    - Building and taking care of our infrastructure.
    - Running Virgin Coconut Oil training center.
    - Make some English/foreign conversations and games for kids.
    - Starting running the field trip for tourists, and guests (if you like you can join us).
    - City Home Project: I’m starting to build a homestay in Pontianak’s City (DIY), so you can help me build house infrastructures, painting some walls, decoration and others.
    Organisation:
    You don’t have to start working at a specific time. The idea is that you feel free to do it whenever you feel ready. You don’t have to work all the hours at once either. You can organize yourself however you like. The maximum is five hours a day, five days a week and two days off. This is also a holiday experience, so enjoy it!
