    We are looking for extra hands to help us build a Community Center for a rural village in Iloilo, Philippines.
    We need some hands to help us with the following:

    - Teaching/Storytelling (Usually during weekends/after class)
    - Leading workshops & trainings for adults
    - Farming and gardening
    - Cleaning, Maintenance & Minor Construction
    - Community building (event hosting/organizing)
    - Digital marketing & Fundraising

    Come and help us build our dream Community Center!

    We started this passion project during the pandemic to support out-of-school children who stopped schooling for almost two years. This project is funded from our own pockets and the support of our loved ones and friends. This community project is run next to our full-time work, and there will be times when outside work/hectic schedule gets in the way.

    We are looking for Workawayers/Volunteers who are independent, generous, and have an authentic and genuine willingness to help out! We would appreciate it if you could work with minor supervision. We hope to have volunteers who are creative, enthusiastic, and respectful of the local community/locals.

    The project site is located two hours away from Iloilo City, in the middle of a 12-ha property. We want to create a shared space for the villagers and the local community residing on the project site. Our project aims to build a community library for children and young people, an organic garden, and eventually a permaculture farm and an off-grid BNB.
