Description
We've started to set up a learning centre near Chiang Rai to promote natural building techniques mainly utilizing earth, straw, timber and bamboo. We are only a couple (French, Thai) and really need some help from motivated volunteers to help us to move forward faster and make our (ambitious) project come true as soon as possible :)
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Creating/ Cooking family meals
General Maintenance
Help with Computers/ Internet
UN sustainablity goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers will learn natural building skills suitable in various climates and part of the world, as well as organic gardening skills. We usually spend with volunteers hours of discussion about some local/global issues, Thai culture, ways people can become more self-sufficient and self-reliant.
Help
We need help mostly for building with earth on our land (making earth bricks, plastering walls with earth etc) using natural materials (earth, straw, sand, rice husk, wood, bamboo). We sometimes need help for gardening too (making new garden beds). We want to have people who stay 2 weeks because it takes some time to explain the work at the beginning. We are about 30 minutes from Chiang Rai. You can get there by taxi (about 300-400 bahts).
Languages spoken
English: Fluent

Accommodation
Simple accommodation in a private tent (one or two person).
What else ...
Meals will be mostly with meat or fish for lunch and diner as we order food from local restaurants which have no vegetarian dishes options. We can't provide vegan food as it is not possible to accommodate every one, so we are asking vegan people to be quite flexible ...
Wifi and electricity (220 V) are available.
We ask all volunteers to have their own health insurance, and be sure they are physically fit for such work.
We ask all volunteers to refrain from any illegal drug use or excessive drinking in our centre.
