    Description

    I´m a curious (study physics ) , happy and social person that has travel a litle around the world and enjoy a lot to share culture with other travelers. I live n the old house of my family and need help to improve it and maintenance. Some painting , carpentry, roof maintenance, cook, etc...
    I ´m the founder and the actual presidente of a small NGO about technology recycling that focus in:
    First digital education with social excluded people (refugees , Gipsy , inmigrantes , adults, adolescens, etc...), so if you want you maybe will have a beautiful experience as a teacher.
    The second goal is to reduce and reuse as much as we can the technology , we try to make business to donate the early waste of their technology . The quantity of trash technology is amazing.
    We have to grow and maintenance social media of the NGO (Facebook , Instagram and linked in) .
    We need also help with administration , order, design projects.
    We have several ideas and projects that can be developed, and we are open to any good new ideas.
    In reality we dont have enough time to build all the great ideas and all the work this NGO needs.
    We are open to organice half time in the NGO and half time in the house task, or other percentage of time.
    Please don´t hesitate to contact us, and to enroll our "family" where we care about each other , talk about life , dreams, doubts or anything that comes out.
    This summer i travel as a workaway and now i know for sure that our workaway is a great great experience.
    We like the UBUNTU philosophy.
    I´m sure it will be a pleasure to share some time and projects with you.
    We wish you a great travel and life (sorry about the English mistakes.)
    Big hugs
