A local Lahu guide will take you around the 80 rai (12 hectares) coffee plantation of which 60 are planted with Arabica coffee and fruit trees. Forest makes up for the remaining 20 rai. Views are amazing.
Having seen lychee, lemon and avocado trees, amongst others, you will have time to engage your first volunteer activity. This will keep you busy until lunchtime. Enjoy a vegetarian, home-made lunch prepared by your Lahu hosts.
After lunch, you will visit the Lahu Sheleh community, an ethnic minority. We will show you some old pictures of the Lahu from yesteryear and show you around Doi Mod, the community located next to the organic coffee farm. After this, we will head back to the farm for the afternoon’s activity which can be one of your choosing. You can join local villagers working at the farm on a seasonal basis, or support Suan Lahu project founders in their natural and cultural restoration activities.
