  Descripción

  We were a small family farm practicing sustainable living with the principle of garden to table (or farm to food). Now that our children are off to college, we have initiated our nonprofit organization. Our values are caring, creativity, consideration, and connection. We expect our guests to begin to reflect our values and to treat us as a family and to treat this community, the people of Thailand, and all beings of the earth. We believe that our guests have natural gifts and talents in their own way to contribute. For you, our home will be “Sabai Jai” which means – freedom of mind, a happy place.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  When you volunteer you’ll be making a lasting impact through:
  - Working with elderly folks from rubbish mountain to give them alternative jobs
  - Opening worldviews of the underprivilege children who their parents work as rubbish scavengers nearby. via games, language learning etc. When you share your time and experiences with these kids, our eyes and hearts are open to a new way of life so here volunteers and children can learn and grow together.
  - Most help will be on the weekend's activities with the people from the rubbish site, at our place and at the village's temple.

  If you like nature and, most important, MUSHROOMS, and want to live like a local surrounded by trees and ponds, this is the place for you. Me and my husband recently started mushroom farming. We hire paid a few local workers from the village but there is always nice to have extra helps and hands.
  Tasks for mushroom farms is routinely involve mushroom picking/cutting/sorting for the market.as well as mushroom caring such as cleaning mushroom houses, clearing old mushroom media/bags for compost making. In the near future we would like to start mushroom culture and mushroom related products.
  Around the house, we try to grow our own food as much as we can so gardening for vegetables and fruits is always on-going.
  
  Apart from mushroom farming, you can help us with some other activities related to the foundation which involve working with a community of rubbish scavengers nearly. The aim is to provide alternative jobs for elderly people who work at the rubbish sites and to give the children more opportunities to see different walks of life.
  In the past few months, we have been working on potting soil mix project from agricultural/organic waste (including mushroom). However, the progress of this project has been slow due to limited resources of labors and proper equipment to process waste materials. So your contribution will help this project moving forward.
  
  You will help about 3-4 hours per day,, 5 days/week. you can choose morning or afternoon (or split the hours as you prefer).

  Alojamiento

  Accommodations:
  We have 4 rooms: 2 single bedroom in 2 bamboo huts and 2 queen size bedrooms in the wooden house. Both accommodations have a shared bathroom with warm shower and western flush toilet.
  Meals:
  In our place we mostly eat vegetarian food and always have some fruits from the garden. Feel free to pick fruits and vegetables from our garden, which you will be helping us to take care of.
  You will have your own little kitchenette, which you will share with other volunteers. If you need to buy your own grocery, there is a small shop nearby. Driving to the city market can be done together once a week. So you will be responsible for your own food and your own cooking.
  We do provide basic food such as rice and fruit. We encourage our volunteer to share, swop and shop with the locals.

  • CLEANING: keep your room and living spaces clean and organized
  • SUSTAINABILITY: please don’t waste water and electricity, e.g. turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and turn off the lights anytime you live a room, separate recyclable organic waste from other garbage
  • DRESSING: please dress properly according environment e.g. making compost in the temple
  • NO SMOKING, NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL
