Many voluntary activities are backed by huge charity funds. However, WWOOFing involves only a small amount of money. WWOOFing is a give and take relationship between the host and WWOOFers. The fact that WWOOF benefits the WWOOF volunteers as well as the hosts is an important reason for the success of this activity.
Benefits of WWOOFing to the volunteers include the following:
- Practical training on the concepts and techniques involved in organic farming
- An opportunity to interact closely with people from different cultures and geographies
- A taste of the rural lifestyle by living with a local family
- Enjoying the vacations in a different way that involves lot of learning and less expenditure
- Some physical exercise in the countryside
Benefits of WWOOFing to the hosts include the following:
- Much needed help for the labor intensive organic farming operations
- An opportunity to interact with people from the cities and bring the world to your home
