  Description

  Thank you for checking us out! My name is Ray and you'll be contacting me most of the time! I am new here on this platform, though I have experience with Workaway with previous NGO's. We are a mainly a café, located in the the heritage district of MELAKA
  Here are our team members
  1. Roger - founder, Malaysia
  2. Ram - Head chef, Nepal
  3. Lee - front of house/ host, Malaysia
  4. Ray - general support, Malaysia
  5. Chris - Barista/bartender ,Nepal
  6. Aakash - Kitchen crew, Nepal
  7.LopChan - Kitchen Crew
  8.Anda - Kitchen crew - Myanmar
  9. Faizan - Barista
  
  Most of us, if not all, are multi-skilled and does what needs doing. Be it, helping Roger with gardening, carpentry and decoration. …
  
  
  Some details about us :)
  As well as cafe, we are also:
  1.An Art Gallery – Most work are by our founder Roger, but there are other pieces by others as well. You too could be one of them! This place is a platform where artists can discuss, share, and showcase their works and ideas freely, without prejudice or discrimination, provided that it is respectful.
  
  2.A Restoration Project –It is a very old house, it is not perfect and we are doing our best to to preserve this building and the other ( your living quarters, an old village house made from wood!) with the time we have.
  
  3.A Home – Just as it was originally built to be 250+ years ago, 2 of our members live here. One of them has four legs and a tail.
  
  4. Terrarium/ Nursery - A life size one at that. You'll see it when you get here. Roger has alot of knowledge in anything to do with gardening/planting etc. Most plants and trees are still alive since the day he set his roots in this place, There are different varieties of species and also his personal DIY normal terrarium project with his 8 year old daughter.
  
  I personally have fallen in love with this place ever since I set foot in it, Before being part of the team, I often come just to visit Roger and have coffee and be in the ambience. It really slows you down.
  We welcome volunteers who are happy to help with daily running tasks, we are a busy successful business.
  In addition, let us know if you have any extra skills or hobbies, any possibilities will do, and let's see how we can make it work together!
  Volunteers are expected to work minimum 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, in exchange for accommodation and food.
  
  We will mainly cook our meals for everyone on site for lunch, and for dinner it can be arranged with house mates in your living quarters, as everyone takes turn cooking. We may prepare ingredients for you to cook and sometimes bring you to our hotspots around town. Let's see where this journey goes!
