    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Learn about life in the tropics including plants, weeds, insects, wear and tear on infrastructure and more or learn about working with and supporting four young adults with autism to live independently or both! Sharing life this way can be a challenge; a challenge which has the potential to help you grow in ways you never imagined. This is about sharing your life as an extended family.
