Organic Agricultural Program
(Very limited work available)
All of the local inhabitants of this crater live in poverty and depend on the land for food and income. Their cultivating methods have been developed by past generations and produce chemical-free food. It is necessary to raise their income level though programs that utilize their strengths to add value to their products.
School Program
(Temporarily closed due to low enrollment)
The little school has 16 children from 7 to 12 yrs old that are taught in a single room grouped by grades. The teacher goes from group to group attending the learning needs. This is a very rewarding opportunity for those inclined to help in the overall development of these children.
