We provide free of charge all your food from the garden, and you can purchase the rest of your food at cost price in the village grocery store. Alternatively you can get your meals at Steve's restaurant at staff rates; EC$12.50 / US$5 for a full breakfast, EC$15 / US$6 for a full evening meal, EC$15 / US$6 for a cooked lunch, less for sandwiches. We are looking for people who are capable and content to be part of a small, efficient and happy team. You would be expected to take turns helping around the garden, in reception, with building work, site maintenance and anything else that crop up. In general you will be expected to work about 40 hours a week, with 2 days off. Don't worry, you will not be overworked and will get plenty of free time to explore and enjoy our beautiful island. You will need to be keen to learn and understand our environmental work, as most of our guests enjoy discussing our systems and learning how they work. They look to all of our staff to be able to explain things to them. Many of our volunteers so far have also taken on their own little project to leave their mark on 3 Rivers and then Rosalie Forest. If you have any ideas or suggestions for little projects or improvements that suit your particular skills; and hopefully you enjoy, then let us know and it can most probably happen! If you are interested, now it is time to read our Volunteer's handbook! If, however, we are not exacly what you are looking for, then you can find other volunteer opportunities at: Ecoteer - Cheap volunteering Abroad www.Ecoteer.com We also offer internships for students wishing to further their studies whilst volunteering here at the lodge. Click here for more information on the 3 Rivers internship. So far, we have welcomed the following volunteers : Bertrand and Céline arrived here as guests at the end of 2003, and settled in another village for a few months after that. In March this year, they returned to us and stayed for a few months as volunteer workers. They soon became an integral part of the team, and are now good friends of us all. They are French and so Céline's pet project was to help us translate all of the literature around the property, explaining our work and our systems into French. Bertrand installed our fantastic lazy bench, and made the volunteer encampment a special place to be, which has since been enjoyed by almost every guest.
