The Activities: Build, cook, swim, hike, fish, drum & more
Tribewanted is not structured volunteering. Nor is it beach resort tourism. It’s somewhere inbetween.
When you join the tribe on the beach we expect you to do three things:
1. Get involved with projects, day-to-day community living and
activities as much as you like.
2. Integrate with the local culture and way of life. We’ll guide you.
3. Wash up your plate.
In general people tend to have a good mix of cultural, physical and
recreation. One thing you are guarenteed – a big Salone social
experience.
Work: Participate in the sustainability and building projects – plant and tend the community gardens, collect firewood and help the local ladies in the kitchen, get a sweat on with the village boys with village construction and maintenance projects, take part in sustainability workshops, join local community projects and events, star and produce in Tribewanted TV, and blog from the beach.
Rest: Swing with the (new) Hammock Society and read from the tribe’s library (all books have been donated by past tribe members), bath in the lagoon or swim in the sea, canoe and trek up river, watch the sunset from the beach rock or around the bonfires, eat fresh fish, vegetables and fruit. Drink palm wine and drum with the tribe under the stars.
Play: Head out fishing with the local community, walk down to Bureh Town beach for a surf and some lobster, teach and play sports weekly in the local primary school or Craig Bellamy Football Academy , local football matches, visit partner projects on the peninsula, and play volleyball at sunset.
