Volunteers at Loudwater Farm, UK

VOLUNTEERING FOR SUSILA DHARMA
by Hesther Bates

"…for many Subud members, involvement at some level with SD and its projects is a logical outcome of their experience of the Latihan: being moved to take action in the world. This can be something as simple as a donation to SD, becoming actively involved as a volunteer, or even starting one's own project Whilst many younger people see volunteering as a means to having an interesting CV, older people can bring much needed experience to the work… On Saturday, March 1st, a small meeting was held at Loudwater Farm … to explore volunteering within Susila Dharma projects.

VOLUNTEERS WITHOUT TEARS PROGRAM
In 2006, at a meeting in France a group of people decided to form the Volunteers without Tears program to support SD projects through Subud volunteering, enabling a useful and satisfying experience for both parties.
To research past experience of both volunteers and projects the Volunteers without Tears team, headed by Raphael Bate of SD France randhbate@googlemail.com, is asking former volunteers and project hosts to complete one of the forms below. More information about this program will be coming to this site.
