About the project
Volunteers Service Communities (VSC) Workcamp
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The mission of DaLaa is to coordinate the hosting of volunteers inactive communities leaded by our hosts. We always have dreamed to start our own association community. It is the best introduction to all new comers and reveals our values of volunteering to the world, the first entrance to our new members right around our rural office. Since 2015 that we have moved to this village, we have been continuously working or the surrounding, gardening and doing activities with the local kids.
💼 What the programme involves
1- To work on building clay house for the long term volunteers
2- Activities at VSC such as cooking, gardening, seeds conservation, recycling, repairing or construction
3- Creative English teaching and activities with kids in the village
Moreover, we organize extra activities such as mini work camps in the week-ends, International seminars, visit our MLTV placements and we are open to new ideas.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will stay in the volunteers’ hut in the DaLaa organization area. There will be simple mats, pillow and mosquito net. There are basic toilets, showers and a kitchen.
🍲 Food
We cook together with the team and DaLaa staffs. Local people eat rice (or noodles) 3 times a day with side dishes like curries, omelets, local leaves and vegetables.
Volunteers will be welcome to cook their own food using the ingredients available there. (No oven, only a gas and woks or pans)

Volunteers should be able to take responsibility for themselves and the team by taking care of their health and security and be fully involved in the daily tasks.
