Description
Samuel:
2022: Helping others has always made me happy. From a young age, I dreamed of being a postman, delivering other peoples mail around the town, bringing a smile to faces that was brought to mine and building a positive relationship in the community. Growing up and going to concerts around the area I grew up in, I realized I wanted to bring that happiness more specifically in that field. Bringing an audience together for a shared special moment has been something I've been dreaming of and working on for years, doing various internships and jobs throughout my field and going to school. I've worked many different jobs and volunteered at numerous organizations in America during my time as a teenager & adult. Making others smile and giving them special experiences is truly what lets me find internal happiness in myself.

2024: I have decided to dedicate my time and future for Permaculture as a passion. 'Earth care, People care, Fair share'
Still always open to something new!

Emily:
I have found in my experiences what brings me the most joy is being in an environment that nurtures learning and growth. I have spent a lot of my time surrounded by kids and making connections with many different, brilliant minds. There's a lot I have taken away from these experiences, creating connection with community, exercising creativity and problem solving, but my biggest lesson being that, theres always more to learn.

This was such a special place with such amazing people, and we can only speak very highly about this experience. Nick, Carolyn and Paddington of course, are very kind and welcoming people with such open hearts.

im ssry but you font know how to communicate , and if one of the "leaders" of the farm was not there (for your opinion) its not mean you should start you day at 13:00 and not have any idea to help, you leave a review that no one communicate with you, but the fact is that you are very not like to help so you find the way to not do anything in the… read more

This is by no means a bad place to volunteer whatsoever, we just wanted to share our experience in the almost week we spent at the permaculture farm!

We arrive thinking there'd be a few volunteers as we were told by Chantal, but were greeted to only one person who had only been there less than 24hrs. The first few days there was no work or… read more

We had an experience at this hostel in Ha Giang! We met so many beautiful people we will remember the rest of our lives and had a blast with the work we were doing. Thank you Aine, Bông, Alice, and the rest of the crew for being extremely hospital to us. Can't recommend this experience more for others. We will miss you all dearly, much love from… read more

Samuel and Emily stayed one week with us and helped on a variety of tasks. Emily is a very nice person, and a very good worker too. We would like to have known Samuel in a better moment for him as he had personal issues when they came, and was not sleeping. For the rest they were very respectful, we had nice talks and some good laughs, and they… read more

Greg and Nathalie were very kind and patient as we were learning both our Spanish and skills with different projects. They had a variety of tasks and adapted them to what suited us and what we enjoyed most.

Sam and Ems were a nice and helpful couple, eager to help with all different tasks, including building a staircase and a table to hold plants. They learned how to weave palm leaves to repair some walls, and cleaning the pool as well as collecting firewood and other odd tasks. They went on excursions with us and we all had a great time getting to… read more
