Volunteer on a sustainable farm in Sichuan
We are located in the south-western area of China. We speak Sichuan dialect and Mandarin, and a little English. We work on a sustainable farm and run an organic restaurant. Our volunteering project is called International Kitchen, and we would like to exchange culture by sharing food. If you love nature and like to cook, we welcome you.
We also need art volunteers. We have some traditional Chinese wooden farm tools. Because we now use machines, we no longer need the old wooden tools, but we do not want to waste them, so we decided to make art with them. If you are interested and can do some art projects, we welcome you.
We also organise nature education activities for children from the city. If you have any ideas for this project, feel free to email us.
