If you want to experience the real Indonesian life and help the local inhabitants, wildlife and the habitat then this project is for you.
Below is a description of our 2 volunteer locations in Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo):
- Tanjung Puting National Park
- Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve
Tanjung Puting National Park is located on the banks of the Sekonyer River. Our main volunteer centre is at Jerumbun, close to Sekonyer village, approximately 1.5 hours up river from the port town of Kumai, which is a 30-minute drive from the Pankalanbun airport. Lamandau is approximately a 4-hour drive from the Pankalanbun airport. For those interested in teaching English to school children, we can usually arrange to place up to 5 persons at our office near Kumai, or within local family houses in Sekonyer village. Volunteers not only get to connect with the beautiful nature and the conservation of it, but also they get to connect and help the local communities.
