Description
We are a small family, my wife and I, with one son 22 years old stay at home. We need volunteers to help us with whatever they could do for the homestay development especially general maintenance and homestay serviçe promotion . We provide raw food for up to four weeks stay and the volunteers need to cook food for themselves at the volunteer's kitchen.
The volunteers stay at the volunteer's hut or probably in the guesthouse . Extention of stay is negotiable.
Thanks,

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
While the volunteers are here with us, they are exposed to the local lifestyle/way of life and traditions. We expect the volunteers to come with an open mind, an open heart and try to adapt to the way of life of the local people.
We regard the volunteers as our family members more than as helpers regardless of where they come from, their races and beliefs.Help
Volunteers are needed to help us in whatever they can do with their respective skills, experience and knowledge within the types of help they could do as stated in their profile. Interested volunteers are recommended to inform us on what aspects of help they could do for our consideration.
We are a family run homestay service provider registered with The Ministry of Tourism, Art and Culture Malaysia.
Thanks,
