  Hi everyone! This is Prem. Our farm is in Padavayal village near Thavalam, Kerala. We have nearly 5 acres of land that is streamside and in hills with Arecanut, pepper and banana cultivation. We also planted some fruit trees like star fruit, orange, mango, Jack fruit, berry, guavas, passion fruit, custard apple, green apple and other fruit tree saplings which is in growing stage. We are very interested in sustainable living, permaculture, meditation and being with nature. Its a paradise with lots of fireflies!
  
  We just bought the land one year before so we need lots of ideas and projects to do.
  *️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ We are looking for a few folks who want to help us for building tree house with bamboos and local woods. There may be time also to help out with the building project.
  * For painting and artwork for the exisiting house.

  Always welcome: volunteers with gardening, land-work, carpentry and natural building skills!

  We have one guest portion with Indian toilet.
  We provide the space for volunteers to pitch their own tents with beautiful views of mountains. You will receive a mattress and pillow, but you will need your own sleeping bag.
  
  Two meals per day included. We eat together as it is time to see each other and discuss. Traditional South Indian meals are no problem for us to prepare and we can teach you how to make them. If you can cook your typical and favorite meal we would be happy.
  
  We have an outer kitchen which volunteers use to cook their own meals and keep clean and orderly. The site is picturesque, very remote and 10 minutes walk from the nearest grocery store and bus stop.
  We give a high importance to using water intelligently and not wasting any.
  
  We genuinely want our volunteers to be happy and thus would like to make our call for people that enjoy outdoor living, are easy going, flexible, can do tasks alone sometimes and feel relaxed with nature. We also stress the importance of having orderliness, cleanliness and mind fullness in all our activities.
