Organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (since 2014 in this place). GV4GF is a NGO to promote voluntary service, environmental protection and improve rural life. Galaha is located at 954 m above sea level. This area was used for tea plantation by British people some of which are still operating with tea factories. The camp place was a former training center, but the funds were stopped 3 years ago, so weâ d like to rehabilitate Organic Farming Training Center.
