⭐️Teach Buddhist Monks In Ladakh
INDIA > This invitation to explore Ladakh, the beautiful region of the Himalayas of northern India on the Tibetan plateau, and live and work with local people teaching English to young Buddhist monks (private group) is almost certainly less appealing than when Kelly Klein posted it almost the same time India launched missile strikes on Pakistan (though things have since calmed down a bit). Kelly landed in Ladakh 11 years ago to volunteer and continues to do so, offering teacher training and trying to get other volunteer teachers in remote monastic schools.
She describes it as a pretty magical experience. A one month minimum stay is required, though two is preferred.

Tenerife Horse Rescue have volunteer placements available now too.
⭐️Communication Coordinator
BRAZIL > Are you passionate about sustainability, content creation, and community living? Join them at Eco Caminhos, a reference farm in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro, if you are: they’re looking for someone to help share their mission with the world. They’re a small farm with limited resources but offer modest compensation to start, along with accommodation and food in a shared volunteer house.
