  • Description

    Description

    We welcome couples with experience in natural building, coordination and media storytelling.

    Each day begins at 9AM with a structured program of work. My husband and I have a full schedule of tasks every day, so you need to be self motivated.

    We are looking for reliable couples or pairs of friends to contribute in key areas. Individuals on their own aren’t practical in this remote location unless we can pair to together.

    Accommodation

    Our location is deep in the rainforest at the foothills of the Bengoh Range National Park. Access is by boat followed by a hike. We are remote, self reliant.

    We offer a private single room with a private toilet and shower. Home cooked meals are provided. A simple outdoor kitchenette with sink and hob is available for personal use. We suggest volunteers bring their own snacks for between meals.

    Daily tasks are practical, often physical and part of ongoing work that keeps this place running. We expect initiative and a respectful approach. Helpers need to be shelf motivated and happy to help independently.
