Volunteer

Volunteering revolves around helping in animals (poop-scooping, flea and tick removal, baths, laundry, feeding infant puppies) and helping in the farm (mulching, cutting grass, planting, moving manure).

We would like to clarify that Volunteering can be challenging and physically demanding, and this might not be the place for those who are seeking an easy getaway.

Our expectations

This is a karma yoga place. We expect people to be honest, calm, respectful, responsible, hard working, compassionate, motivated by doing good work, have attention to detail, and keep the space clean. The work we do is also very physical, so please consider your own energy level and if you will find it rewarding. We expect you to follow the schedule of the farm, which includes early mornings. If you are unable to follow the schedule or if we have to pick up after you, or constantly remind you of the rules, you will be asked to leave.

We expect people to understand that this is rural India and strive to avoid doing things which offend local sensibilities.

This is our home and this is our life, which we are sharing with anyone who wants to do good work. If you realize that, you will fit right in!

If you are looking for a getaway and not for an opportunity to help animals, then this might not be the place for you.

Additionally, please note that volunteering will not be promoted into a work-exchange program or a full-time position.

Routine

Volunteering takes place from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (Monday to Saturday). Volunteers are expected to follow the schedule while at the farm.

Costs

There is no charge for volunteering, but you'll have to manage your own food and accomodation.

You can arrange your own food and accomodation, or we can arrange it for you, although you will have to pay for it.

A word of advice

If you find doing the same thing for an extended period boring instead of meditative, or having a routine is not something you like, or you don't like your own company, then this might not be a good fit for you.

Commitment of 2 weeks.
