Description
We have different workaway opportunities in Jaisalmer and it's surroundings:

1.We have a guest house in Jaisalmer city. If you have good and professional knowledge about WordPress websites, maintenance and development, you can help us improving our website. In this case we will provide you accommodation and meals in our guest house.

2. Another projects we can offer are in the country side of Jaisalmer, 22 kms and 34 kms each from the city, where we own two different fields. The projects there are about agriculture/permaculture, and there is also the option of teaching at the local school.
The accommodation and meals there will also be provided, though the conditions are more humble. However, you can experience local culture, traditions and lifestyle, far from the tourist routes and closer to people :-)

Help
Any of our projects you are interested and whatever knowledge you have in any sector, you are welcome from heart.
The work atmosphere in both opportunities is very relaxed. We don’t prescribe a set start or finish time, and if you want a cup of masala chai during the day the staff will be happy to whip one up or show you how!

Specifically in our country side projects would be interesting to do some environmental sensitize with locals about collecting trash instead of throwing it away.

Our workaway with Fifu at his countryside farm has been AMAZING. Fifu is a reliable and caring man who first presented us the project and we accepted with no hesitation. Since the farm is 30km away from Jaisalmer city he made sure to provide us filtered water tanks there.
