  • Description

    Description

    We have a small NGO focusing on natural building and permaculture. We live in an earthen passive house autonomously (water, electricity, vegetables and fruits). We want to share natural building and permaculture and we do need help.
    We have two children, tino and kimi, 12 and 10. You need to be opened to kids.
    There is a great community around in the village.
