We're so pleased to see this fabulous spud harvest at WWOOF hosts College for International Co-operation and Development. Looks like they picked a perfect day for harvesting 🌞 The college offers incredible opportunities for international studies, investigations and activism. You can study for five, ten or twelve months and they also offer voluntary work for three or six months in Africa or India. They are situated in the north east of England in 30 acres of parkland and gardens with all the facilities for community living. WWOOFers get to help in the organic garden and farm plus they get to join in with other projects the college run such as the clothes and shoes recycling project. WWOOFers get to join in with spare time activities together with students and staff too; sports, music, films and presentations from volunteers who've been in Africa and India taking part in development work. . . . #join #linkinbio #wwoofuk #wwoof #wwoofer #organic #spuds #organicpotatoes #harvest2020 #happiness #outdoors #healthylifestyle #nutritious #internationalstudent #internationalstudies #artactivism #volunteering #travelcommunity #naturesgift #experiencemore #traveltolearn #wwoofadventure #travelwithpurpose #internationalcooperation #internationaldevelopment #climatechange #sustainablefuture #northofengland
