    Description

    My name is Leidy Villamizar. I'm a homeschooler mom and have a 9 year-old boy. I am the co-founder of an alternative educational program, which is a learning community called Safari. My house is a self-build space created for the development of this activity, so we have a garden and some animals (hens, a dog and a cat) as part of our learning process. Actually, I'm working as the director of this program and also as a teacher -virtual and person classes.
    I love traveling and sharing life experiences with other people and learn of them as much as I can. I speak Spanish, English and I'm learning French. I love cooking, I really enjoy hiking in the nature, we as a family enjoy camping and adventures to feed our soul.♥
    We love and respect animals and differences with other people. We are a not religious family, but a respectful with others believings.

    We are looking for people who want to come and spend some time and experiences with us and the things they can help are such as:
    - Teaching math, Spanish, English, science to school-age children (the ones who come to our house looking for direction with their academic processes in school and some help with their homeworks)
    - Teaching English (or other languages) and guitar to my son and me.
    - Helping with the garden.
    - Creating some art projects (murals, educational content, educational drawings, etc)
    - Helping with social media and web development.
    - Photography support.
