Best Volunteer Program Ever!

I researched a lot of volunteer programs before choosing one and after my stay at Planet One World i can truly say that this project is different. As Ken always says we have to work with nature and not against. The impact the project is leaving is hugh. Be it the indigenous communities, the wildlife refuge or the farm. You can see what he and his familiy created there. All the animals around are witnesses of the effort the project is doing to establish a safe habitat for them and other endangerd plant species. All what Ken was doing with us he did with passion. His drive for his farm and the rainforest is asthonisihg. During my stay we all learned so much about a sustainable lifestyle and even got the chance to educate some school classes. The reward for our work on the farm and the refuge were the tours and activities he did with us. Best of all shaman visit and rafting in the BriBri reserve. I’ll never forget this. On the weekend we were always exploring the beautiful beaches near One World. If you want to party you can sleep down at the beach house. The beach house is not really nice, but anyway you will just sleep there and it’s for free.

Wildlife!

I came into this volunteer project of One World with one thing in mind, to really make a change. Not only was I able to fulfill my wish but I had an amazing and unforgettable time there. Ken the owner is such a funny and nice guy. He has so much knowledge about farming, the wildlife and the special plants. The highlight was definitly the trip into the BriBri reserve where we slept in the tipis for 3 days and did a rafting tour. Helping the community during this time was a great experience. All the tasks at the farm and the wildlife refuge are so diversified that you’ll never get bored. I made a lot of new friends from around the world and felt so welcomed that I have to come back!

What would you improve about this program?
It’s a huge area. I think that the more volunteers are coming the better. Ken can protect this area and the faster it is possible to build up everything he already has in mind
