The Pestalozzi International Village sponsors young people aged 16+ from low-income families in Africa and Asia to study at the village. The Pestalozzi Estate covers 75 hectares of land and has many different wildlife habitats in it and has many different bird, animal and tree species. There is always important environmental and renovation work on the estate and international volunteers have been invited to help this worthwhile charity with this work.

Tasks are likely to include Rhododendron clearance, gardening, putting up fences, building paths and possibly painting and decorating some of the buildings.

Volunteers will sleep in student accommodation in shared rooms with bunk-beds. There is a communal area and a small kitchen in the accommodation where volunteers will prepare their breakfast, the main meals will be provided in the canteen with other visitors to the village.

Pestalozzi is situated in East Sussex on an isolated hilly but beautiful site 8km inland from the coastal resort of Hastings. The site is surrounded by the scenic South Downs and the historic town of Battle is nearby.
