1.We do not have a structured volunteer programme at Reach.

3.Our volunteers range from secondary school students to retirees and they should be in relatively good health.

6. For the month of August 2015 we have enough volunteers for our school programmes but we would probably need more volunteers in September 2015 onwards as our local volunteers leave for college.

a. The study of the flora and fauna of our montane forests
b. The study of the ecosystems of the highland forests or related fields
