Eco&kids: the work

Saturday activities with local kids. Saturday activities with local kids.

You will work together with other volunteers and our staff as a team, on:

  • Daily maintenance of the farm, about 60% of the work  (Wednesdays, Thursday and Friday)
  • Participation in activities with local children, 30% (Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays) 
  • Every week the work and things to be done will be discussed and prepared with you, 10%.

When making the planning and schedule we will look at the needs of the project, the knowledge, experience and interest of you. You will have two free days per week, on Monday and Tuesday.

 

TCDF Eco-Logic has a gardener working on the ecological garden, he can tell us what needs to be done and – important! – how it needs to be done. 

What can we offer you?

Maintenance on the fish ponds. Maintenance on the fish ponds.

We expect a special commitment from our volunteers. But it will be worth it, this is what you get in return:

-       A free place to stay and live (dormitory style).

-       You’ll get to know Thailand, the people, culture and language in a way you will never experience when you are just traveling. Working as a volunteer is an ideal start of a trip trough Thailand, you will get a lot of knowledge and experience to enjoy the rest of your trip in Thailand differently.

-       This is your change to give some back to the people and the country you’re traveling in, like the way the Thai do during your trip.

-       After a hard day’s work and involvement with the foundation, your evenings at the camp fire, under the stars will give you the best feeling ever!

-       A weekly work schedule, cooperation with our professional Thai staff, a lot of work and time outside in nature

What do we expect from you?

Having your meals at the TCDF Eco-Logic restaurant? You can! Having your meals at the TCDF Eco-Logic restaurant? You can!
