  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  This is a small village of about 150 settlers who are mostly farmers . The village has no shops or whatsoever but there is a local bus running between the village and the nearest town of Kula twice a week. The town of Kula is historically rich and geographically interesting being a very volcanic ( dormant) area. I will also be very happy to show the guests around .
