    Description

    Hello I am John Dindo 36 years old I am looking for Volunteers that might want to come work, play and learn with me up on the land. I'd like to offer a place to stay, food, knowledge, in exchange for help with my little farm projects.

    Projects that I need help with include: Farm house making, cooking, feeding the chickens, gardening, planting veggies (more about farming).

    Knowledge and skills we have to share include: gardening, planting trees, fishing, free diving, hunting, hiking, snorkeling,bushcraft,survival skills, delicious food creation, tree climbing, how to work smoothly in the material world, planning and organizational awareness, living authentically, being at peace, communicating clearly, and loving life wholeheartedly.

    Im flexible about the terms. Come and participate in this exchange for a weekend, a couple months, depends of volunteer(s). I'm looking for people to come from SEPTEMBER to DECEMBER. Ideally my 'volunteers' would be able to be up here 4 or 5 days a week working on the land for about 4hours a day total of 20hrs per week. I'm practicing being self sufficient and living on the land in ways that are healthy and rewarding beyond the conventional understanding of what it means to make a living. I find ways to live a balanced lifestyle; working hard and being attentive to material world obligations, while also taking good amounts of time to nourish my body and mind by eating well, doing hunting and survival practice, and spending lots of time in nature listening and learning. I am looking for volunteers that are: self motivated, good-natured, hard working, not fancy,relatively healthy, enthusiastic about life.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Firstly, the Filipino culture is very warm and welcoming.
    As for me, I could take the volunteers by Boat to the neighboring beaches called SAMBAWAN, ISLAND but also go diving, fishing and share my knowledge on the types of fish or vegetation.

    I live here all year round, and I would like to keep its natural conservation. Therefore, I would like to be able to create an ecological project,
    From then on, the volunteers would help me ecologically, to make arrangements, construction, in the continuity of things, receive volunteers who would help me to make diy projects , that would be great.

    I have bamboo huts in the farm and a house in the Village 10minutes away from the farm.
    But, I also have tents available, or if you have them you can obviously pitch them outdoor or a hammock for total immersion.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The volunteers will be in my Farm during their free time, I can also bring them to nearby Beache around the island we called Candol Beach ( small beach) or some tourist spots.
    I have stuff for hunting available for you if you want.
    Otherwise, hiking in the island and I could also take you fishing, and discover the neighboring mountain
    We are 2-3hours away from the Tacloban airport .

    Here I don't have wifi at the moment,(maybe in September we have wifi) but we receive the network very well (TOUCH MOBILE *TM or GLOBE NETWORK) there are no connection problems, you can work on your computer, and a work space.
