  Beschreibung

  Hello and welcome to the volunteer program! We're Natalia & Eyal, a Colombian/Israeli couple who have been running an ecological and social project in the gorgeous Colombian countryside for the past eight years, and we're excited to share our little paradise with you.
  
  We live on a beautiful farm 80 km from Bogota, in a bamboo house in the middle of a mango plantation. The weather is perfect year-round (15 ºC to 30 ºC), there are lots of tropical fruits and several rivers a short walking distance from our farm. Our main economic activity involves hosting retreats and workshops focused on wellness and body movement. We also teach English at the local school and run this amazing volunteer program.
  
  We offer the opportunity to experience an alternative life style for the modern rat race. an alternative where abundance is created by the creative power of mind and heart combined together. where knowledge, support and resources are to be shared generously. we do our best to contribute to the local underprivileged community in this beautiful part of Colombia and we surly feel embraced by them in return.
  
  We think it's important to mention that the work can be physical, and that you may get dirty and sweaty, if you're not used to do physical work, you might be a bit overwelmed at first. But don't worry, it's normal for your body to take 2-3 days to adjust.
  We appreciate aesthetics, cleanliness, and organization, and we ask our volunteers and guests to keep their personal and shared spaces tidy. This helps create a welcoming environment for everyone.
  
  We know that living and working on a farm with a fixed daily schedule may be challenging for some people. As former backpackers ourselves, we understand the carefree lifestyle that comes with it. We encourage you to take a moment and make a conscious decision regarding if this description sounds like something that will suit you before joining us. Please check out the feedback on our profile to get a sense of what other volunteers have experienced.
  
  We're thrilled to have you join us on this adventure! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
  
  Warmly,
  Natalia and Eyal

  Warum lässt workaway.info Einträge von Gastgebern zu, die einen finanziellen Beitrag verlangen?

  In Entwicklungsländern (wo die meisten Gastgeber gemeinnützige Arbeit oder Gemeinschaftsentwicklungsarbeit anbieten) verlangen einige unser Gastgeber einen kleinen Beitrag, um die Gastfamilie oder NGO zu unterstützen (meist handelt es sich um weniger als 5 USD pro Tag). Workaway lässt diese Art von Einträgen dann zu, wenn die Spende direkt an die Familie oder die NGO geht und nur dazu dient, die Kosten des Aufenthalts des Volunteers abzudecken. (Dies wird im Eintrag des Gastgebers deutlich angegeben).
  Wir lassen keinerlei Inserate von Agenturen, „Vermittlern“ oder Projekten zu, bei denen wir das Gefühl haben, dass sie Profit aus dem Aufenthalt von Volunteeren schlagen wollen.
