Agriculture Community Volunteer

Description

>>> To proceed with your application, apply and fill in this form: https://forms.gle/HjJAGSc5oMZcG4pG6. Join us at Ananda Kalyani** and immerse yourself in nature as part of the Agriculture team. Get green as you prepare the soil to seed, water the growing harvest, weed away the weeds, prune what needs to be pruned, and harvest fruits and veggies. So it’s about being outside in the fresh air and getting your hands dirty, while you take care of the soil, plants, trees, crops. Get closer to nature you have ever been to in the countryside, while learning more about one of the most important sectors: agriculture. ++ Dates and duration of this opportunity are flexible! ***Note: applications should be in English Check our volunteering opportunities and other info on our website: https://anandakalyani.org/esc-volunteering/

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Volunteers will be provided accommodation in one of the community houses, sharing a room with one or more fellow volunteers. The rooms are equipped with the basic comforts such as a bed, sleeping bags, pillow, and light. If preferred, there is also the option to camp with a tent on the land in the warmer seasons. Food: a local team prepares the food for the community (lunch and dinner) according to the Sattvic diet. There is a self service policy for breakfast. Throughout the whole day there is a tea table with tea, coffee, and fruits. Rides will be provided if needed among the community.
