Design + Travel, Build Cambodia
Who/What: Green Shoots Foundation has launched a *new* overseas volunteering program with Socially Active Workshop Architecture (SAWA) and Brixton-based architect firm Squire & Partners called: DESIGN +TRAVEL, BUILD CAMBODIA.
It forms part of our Food, Agriculture & Social Entrepreneurship program in Cambodia. The focus is on skills for rural development (horticulture/climate change and livelihoods). In July 2017 the government allocated 1.2 acres (0.5 Ha) for us to establish our own Agri-tech Centre- so now we can broaden to horticulture, eco-building and also water management.
Between August and December we have one or two week volunteer positions available to help with the delivery of a remarkable eco-build (below) designed by Edward Dale-Harris, founder of SAWA, for Squire & Partners.
Positions start at £ 500 –EXCLUDING FLIGHTS (including accommodation/ insurance/visa/ meals)
Where: Samraong Town, Oddar Meanchey Province, North West Cambodia (2 hours away from Siem Reap)
Why: You should apply if you want to be part of a grassroots lead architecture project, get involved with earthblock making, permaculture, bamboo weaving and setting up vegetable garden projects/ landscaping. AND an opportunity to win copies of “Sustainable [R]evolution”– a book documenting ecovillages and permaculture projects across the world.
How: it is simple. email volunteer@greenshootsfoundation.org to know more. OR fill in this googleform: https://goo.gl/forms/HCOB23dtpXgS9bUL2 and we will get back to you.
We can also help you set up an online fundraising platform so you can meet your target!
