Help
We need help to cooperate with our wonderful team members (farm work, eco & art project).
The duties will depend on when you visit, but could include:
+ Helping to re-paint or make new exciting artwork and murals in and around our farm. I would love someone who also loves nature and animals. Help mostly required for farming, natural building and composting.
+ Helping to fundraise for our community projects (including an education fund)
+ Other duties as relevant to your skill set and what we need at the time
We are seeking people with professional experience, and the desire to truly make a difference with their time. In exchange, we will provide a chance to explore the jungles and waterfalls in Gunung Jerai, and be welcomed by a friendly team of our farm co-workers.
“Come! If you are ready to spend two weeks in the farm and you don’t mind that only few in the village speak English, we are waiting for you.”
