  Description

  We are a top kiteboarding school/club/shop in Punta chame, Panama, Central America with a restaurant & lodging.Our location right on the beach, makes our school location ideal for beginner to experieced kiters and for those that want to watch or relax at our hangout area. On the weekends it gets particularly busy with kitemembers, classes or rentals. During the week there is enough free time to practice your spanish and this is the moment to work on your own kiteskills!
  
  Throughout the kiting season from December to the end of April we are looking for at least 3 volunteers who are proactive and happy to help around the hospitality facilities. Responsibilities may include; cleaning the cabañas and bathrooms, painting, sanding, maintenance, preparing rooms for new guests, helping out in the kite school and assisting the chef in the restaurant. Flexibility when completing other jobs that are needed is appreciated and we can also work with your personal skill set. During the off season we are also looking for volunteers who can help prepare for the season.
  
  You will be part of our family of international volunteers, a group of 3-4 people and receive 3 vegan/vegetarian meals a day and accommodation (tents + mattresses during the kite season or cabaña's in the off season, dependent on availability). The work will consist of 25 hours per week with 2 days off per week.
  
  There are regular buses between Bejuco and Panama City, and a smaller minibus that will take you from Bejuco to Punta Chame.
