I am one of many people who want to experience my own life as much as I can, and volunteering is the way that I selected to. Volunteering is one of the best ways to contribute community to do something that you are passionate about, and I am interested in farming and ecological, so volunteering at the farm is the right thing for me.

Shan Ban Ciao isthe place that I went to be a volunteer for 2 weeks. Shan Ban Ciao is a kind of Face painting Cultural museum which is not really about farming, but very inspired me in the different way. It is surrounded by mountains, farmland of local people, contribution canal and forests. The tourist can visit the museum, painting mask even take a look around Shan Ban Ciao. 

There are 3-4 little houses provided for the guests who want to stay.

My duties over there were preparing, cleaning materials for the tourists who joining the activities that we provided, welcoming, taking care of tourists. There was some holiday that we can went out to others place with new friends like a local market, sightseeing around the town even going out to eat something together.

Not only I got interact with many people, but also learn about how do they live their life in each day, what makes them live their life like that, making new friends and improve some Chinese.

It is so fun and rewarding experience. If you are looking for the best ways to volunteer, find something that fits your interested in, what are you favorite places to volunteer at?  I hope you will find useful and then start your volunteering!
