  Ajuda

  Stay with us (only) if you have the time to watch and listen to the Pepper growing, to leave something of you behind and take a piece of the gardens with you, if for nothing else at least for your taste buds and for your memories. We would be delighted to welcome people who are motivated not only to assist in the seasonal activities of the gardens but also to leave a concrete positive footprint according to their respective skills and areas of interest. If you are an open-minded and pro-active person, you are welcome to stay with the family.
  
  Generally, we are looking for volunteers with an active and self-starting approach who can help us with one of the following projects:
  
  1) volunteers who can bring skills, ideas and connections about how to refine, improve and further diversify our agricultural practices with regard to natural agriculture, soil improvement and conservation, water catchment and storage, agroforestry, permaculture and sustainability practices.
  
  2) imaginative volunteers who can help with natural materials and do a lot out of little by helping to maintain, fix or beautify tools, furnitures, buildings and by imagining new natural spaces and landscapes which are suitable to further enrich and beautify the gardens.
  
  3) someone who possesses food processing and culinary skills and experience to dedicate time to our Kampot Pepper and other products of the gardens and try new or perfect existing pepper focused recipes or pepper-based products. Volunteers who are willing to share their skills and ideas with our cook Romduol.
  
  4) someone who cannot only shoot some good pictures and videos but who might also be willing and capable to making a self-sufficient marketing product or marketing strategy out of it. Suggesting and planning of marketing materials, writing appealing content to promote our work and vision; give visibility to the gardens on the social medias
  
  5) Last but not least: Entrepreneurial volunteers who are willing to stay for a an extended period, to initiate and carry out projects related to the above mentionned areas of activity or research in these fields and maybe become somehow part of the family.
