Details
Description
Small business providing solar energy systems to remote indigenous communities around the NT. We need skilled workers preparing in the workshop and sometimes traveling with us to Arnhem Land and other special places to set up the systems.
I can offer a place to stay in Darwin for unskilled but suitable people to help around the warehouse and especially looking after the front garden which now needs some attention.

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Darwin is always a cultural exchange. Also, you can learn about remote renewable energy design and construction. Sustainable living. Perhaps travel to remote community to help on our projects and live and work and hang out with Indigenous Australians away from tourists. Exchanging culture is generally up to you. Keep an open mind and heart and treat everyone we meet with respect and you never know where we will be invited next.
