Palms International Volunteers Needed

Invitation for 2025 Encounter Tour with Palms International Volunteering
Imagine experiencing the real Timor-Leste and Samoa – not as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest in local communities making real change happen.
Palms International Volunteering formerly known as Palms Australia invites you to join an intimate group of just eight to twelve travellers for an extraordinary journey that goes far beyond typical tourism.
Our Encounters program; Timor-Leste from July 8-19, 2025 and Samoa from 27th September to 4th October 2025 offers you:
- Authentic connections with local communities and Palms Australia partners
- Unique insights into sustainable development initiatives
- Cultural immersion experiences you won’t find anywhere else
- Expert local guides sharing hidden historical sites and natural wonders
- Delicious local cuisine and comfortable community guesthouses
At $3,500, your Encounter includes accommodation, meals, activities, expert guides, visas, and in-country transportation.
This isn’t just a trip – it’s an opportunity to understand how Australians can contribute to reducing global poverty while experiencing the genuine warmth and richness of Timorese and Samoan culture.
Whether you’re interested in active adventures or cultural experiences, we can accommodate your preferences. Our comprehensive program includes:
- Pre-departure preparation materials
- Fully guided in-country experience
- Post-trip engagement opportunities
Spaces are limited to ensure an intimate experience. Reserve your place today by clicking on the link: https://palms.org.au/encounters/ or calling us at (02) 9560 5333.
Join us in creating a more just and interconnected world, one Encounter at a time.
