Descripción
Hi there, we're Thủy, Jack, Bông and Tai. Jack is from the Netherlands and Thủy and kids from Vietnam of course. As a family we moved to this area to try and live a self sustainable and minimalist lifestyle. We try to develop our little slice of heaven according to the permaculture principles. We're surrounded by a growing community of people who have similar ideas and ways of life.
Our final goal is to take care of as much of our needs as we can ourselves and create no waste in the process. Also we want to be a part of our community and help new families settle in quicker.
It's still a long way before we get there and we need help with getting it all up and running.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We live in a small community of people who live very simply. Many times this involves using the old Vietnamese ways of doing things. So this will give the volunteer a very good view into what life was like in Vietnam not so long ago. Strong cultural ties are necessary in a community like this as everyone helps everyone.
We're also surrounded by farm lands that are worked by present day Vietnamese farmers and farming style, so this is also a very good look into how good is produced and processed in Vietnam.

Ayuda
Up until may 2026 we will be working on our house. Extending the roof, building an extra bedroom and general maintenance and updates. We'd love some help with that!
The work will involve some concrete, but mostly carpentry. Some heavy lifting is involved.
Because there won't always be work on the house for everyone it will be alternated with work in the garden.
This means sometimes you're working on your own and other times with us.

Alojamiento
You'll be staying on the second floor of our main house (that sounds fancy, I know). There are no walls on this floor, but it's all yours to use.
The shower and bathroom are shared with us. We use a bucket system compost toilet.
Volunteers will get three meals a day for their efforts. Maybe in exceptional cases only the ingredients and a way to prepare their meal.
Algo más...
The area is quite remote, but there are a few towns at driving distance. Getting here from the south is easy though. It will be by bus that'll drop you off at the main highway. I'll pick you up there on the motorbike to drive 1.5km to our place.
In our free time we usually walk around the area to explore. There are many small paths to discover all the way up to the local hills/mountains. There's also a nice waterfall where you can swim.

Thank you very much, Roman. Hope to see you again one day.

He's a very handy guy that's difficult to stop. I really appreciated the fact that I could just leave him to it. He seemed to enjoy the process just as much as I did. He thinks along with the work.
