Day volunteering

Monday - Saturday, from 9:15 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The work you will do revolves around Animal Enrichment, and Farming.

More specifically, assisting in our animal rescue (dog walks, brushing animals, poop scooping, flea and tick removal, baths, laundry, feeding infant puppies, playing with dogs), and assisting in the farm (weeding, mulching, cutting grass, planting, moving manure).

You might also be work alongside a staff member to assist with animal treatments, kitchen tasks, or construction projects.

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 is not the place for you.

Routine

The farm operates on a schedule and routine. Work happens in two shifts at specific times. Volunteers should arrive and depart within certain times, and will be expected to follow the schedule while at the farm.

Costs

There is no charge for volunteering. You will be responsible for arranging your own food and accomodation.

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 is not a good fit for you.
