The reserve offers a lot of information and a good working experience in tropical nature. If you wish to learn something, you are always welcome to ask. Depending on the time of the stay, the responsibilities will be more and also the knowledge.

We are looking at the moment for:
- Help with our SEOs
We have already a website, but working on our SEOs takes too much of our time and concentration (besides we don’t know much about it) and therefore your help is much apreciate it.
You can work on this 2 hrs per day, 5 hours per week.
- Garden and maintenance
Here you will help us with our plant nursery, helping us with our plant collections, maintaining the garden and keeping the reserve suited for visitors walking through it.
- Help the sustainable and environmeltal project
We belong to a new sustainable community and it is very important to us to be able to focus on this and bring this to the public as well. We are also working on some envvironmental projects. As this is a lot of work for us and we lack on time, you can help us make our dream of making a better inpact to this world come true. I can explain you a bit more about this.
These tasks are the main ones we need at the moment, but we like to mix those with other tasks in the reserve, like gardening, English teaching, maintenance, a bit of construction, etc… whatever is needed during the day.
- If you like working also with kids and love painting murals, please let us know =)
We DON’T charge anymore, but will supply you with a place to sleep, the food necessities (such as rice, beans, salt, sugar and cooking oil) and the volunteer (you in this case) can cook in the volunteer kitchen, bringing his/her own food. – I can explain more about it in an email, if you are interested in giving us a hand.

Also important is that the volunteer travels with health insurance.
