[Cob] Cobbing in Central America and SE Asia

[Amanda Peck]

Kleiwerks comes to mind.  North Carolina based, they do work all over the 
world.  But they seem to figure that everyone from the "cash-rich" countries 
can afford to pay.  Someone other than me is going to have to decide if this 
is reasonable for instruction--should be quite a bit more than "go join a 
group that's working, they'll show you what to do"--plus room and board.  
South America, Thailand, and a project in Tamil Nadu are on their list.

Here's the link from a two-week course in Patagonia in early December.

Someone else probably has other ideas.

I've been a lurker and learner on this list for several months and have 
worked a little bit on one cob house so far.  In the new year I (with my 
spouse and young child) plan to travel through Central America for a couple 
of months. The following year we will be traveling in SE Asia for a few 
months, then staying in Pune, India for 2 months.  I would really like to do 
some cob or other alternative building work in both of these places, but a 
lot of the opportunities I have found on the internet are related to paid 
courses. I will not have money to pay extra but since I will already be 
there would be happy to participate in volunteer work. Does anyone have 
experience and/or contacts regarding volunteer cobbing in Central America, 
India,  Cambodia, Vietnam or Laos?
