Pun Pun Internship

This year Pun Pun will be offering an 8-week internship program to individuals interested in getting a hands-on experience in organic gardening including seed saving, earthen building, and community living.

November 1-December 27, 2010

The internship will be a combination of organic gardening techniques, earthen building, appropriate technology, and self-reliant living techniques. We will learn all of these together through hands-on projects with each. Interns will learn the organic gardening techniques we use at Pun Pun through use on their own experiential garden beds and making compost and cultivating micro-organisms themselves. Interns will learn earthen building techniques by building together a structure and learning all of the stages involved in building your own earthen home. Interns will also get the opportunity to be involved in aspects of living in a community in Thailand and other cultural and sustainable living related practices.

It is an opportunity to learn through doing where interns will learn the techniques we use while actively applying them to projects at the farm. It is also a chance to live with other like-minded Thai and international folks as well as meet various interesting visitors to the farm.
