I AM FROM HERE is the idea of providing a service to a community, wherever you are, and reach a higher goal and satisfaction by interacting within that community. Everyone gives what he or she wants to give and gets something back in return. Go for a sustainable life, from the planet for the planet!

Below we have listed a few topics that could be of interest to you when joining our projects.

Accomodation & Food

Accomodation and food are being provided at every location during your volunteering period. You will feel overwhelmed how much everyone around you will try to make you feel at home and will take care of you.

As this is a self-funding project, there is no financial support involved for the particular hosts. To guarantee a sustainable process of activities, a weekly donation of 15 USD / 200.000 RP to cover your stay is highly appreciated. This is only an estimated amount of costs. In the end it all comes back to the roots of "I AM FROM HERE": You give what you can. We understand that there are individuals with no money, who are only able to contribute by their physical actions.

Working Hours

There is no required minimum amount of working hours. As it is an essential part of the idea to act in a conscious way, we encourage every volunteer to give whatever he or she is willing to give. In any case your working hours will most likely not exceed 3-4 hours a day/ 5 days a week.

After all you are in Indonesia, so the biggest part of the day will be sitting, sharing and resting including adventure trips into the jungle, camping, swimming in the river, hiking or just enjoying nature with our local friends. Overall we want to make sure that you have a good time within the project and around.

Internet

Internet access is available in most areas, Though please remember, you are in Indonesia, the connection can be slow.

Language

English, Indonesian, Bugisnese and Bajo
*One more thing: If we are lucky to see you here, could you please bring a flag of the country you come from? Edy is collecting them and loves to keep them as a memory of you. The more flags, the better " I AM FROM HERE" has grown! If you could bring sketchbooks and any sort of pens or pencils, that would also help a lot. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
