Project Overview:

We picked Sanhe village to be the place to promote sustainability and satoyama initiative because in this agricultural community where there's no convenient public transportation connecting to the metropolis., but the people believing in all beings are equal; realizing that people already have plenty and we can give more to our habitat, the earth! The township is known for the Buddhist temple in the center of Longtan Lake. It was voted the most distinctive town in Taiwan 2015.

In the name of love for the environment, Community Chief Xie rolled up his sleeves, lead by example to live more but desire less. Due to the success of the first workcamp in 2018, Sanhe has already had intimate connections to people from 7 other countries, therefore, we are determined to continue pushing the Growth further!

This is most suitable for those especially interested in the life of a rich culture and tranquility, and perfect for people who care about sustainable habitat. The villagers spend their lives mostly within their community, this program provides them with the amazing opportunity to learn English, as well as embrace other cultures, from international volunteers.

Aims:
With Agro-living Wellness, we aim to achieve 3 Growths:
Growth in awareness of the importance of sustainable habitats (satoyana)

Growth in local work force participation rate of the community
Growth in volunteers’ wellness of body, mind and spirit

Work : We will focus on environmental sustainability by building a three-room housing with the rammed earth construction technique. Using raw materials such as soil, straw and gravel found locally which will teach volunteers the environmental effects and sustainability for the habitat. This will not only be a labor intense experience but also a spiritual cleansing journey for you

Study : Volunteers are encouraged to share their knowledge on sustainability from their countries and reflect upon what they have learned and prepare to bring home at the end of the workcamp.

The township is known for the Buddhist temple in the center of Longtan Lake. It is north of Taiwan, locates in the same city as the Taoyuan International Airport. It was also voted the most distinctive town in Taiwan 2015
