Working visitors are individuals who volunteer at Asian Rural Institute for one day to 60 days and take an active part in the community. Working visitors are assigned to a working section, just like volunteers and help with Foodlife work twice a day. Individuals or groups that come as working visitors sometimes stay in the dormitories if there is room, or may stay in the nearby Seminar House.
This is a great opportunity for those who are interested in learning more about their world, their food and their personal identity. Working visitors often get a chance to learn something new and feel more connected to their fellow human beings. Participants also gain a wonderful chance to exchange fellowship and make new friends while working together.
