Sunseed Desert Technology Volunteers
Sunseed offers Volunteers the chance to work in all of their departments and participate in all aspects of life at Sunseed, in community activities such as gardening, housework and building. The advantage with this organisation is that there is the flexibility to work part or full time, with the bonus of being able to specialise in any of the departments. This allows volunteers to pursue in an interest in conservation at the same time as gaining experience in another interest such as journalism or marketing by producing leaflets and booklets on various subjects.
