    Description

    Hey Workawayers! We live in the community of Santa Isabel, an hour and a half from the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia, surrounded by lush green landscapes and abundant nature, with nearby rivers and lagoons—the perfect place to reconnect with nature. We dream of creating a sustainable place to live. We raise trout to sell in our restaurant, and we're currently fixing up a house for volunteers. We could really use some help with remodeling, painting, cleaning, and creating organic gardens. Will you help us?

    Our team currently consists of:

    Jose Luis - responsible for the trout farm and restaurant

    Rodrigo - in charge of the exchange program and technical support

    Roxana - food preparation and service

    Marvin - kitchen support

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The workaway participants can give talks at the community school, to eleven children between the ages of 4 and 11. The family also gets together on certain days to play basketball or soccer. We are eager to share our lifestyle, our return to nature. We are currently learning about bioconstruction, or building with natural materials and renewable energy. We share all our knowledge in these areas, and we are still learning through practice. We want to share our knowledge with everyone; a different perspective is always welcome and enriches the collective experience. The idea is to return to nature, to reconnect.

    Los workawayers pueden brindar charlas en la escuela de la comunidad, once niños entre los 4 y 11 años de edad. También la familia se reúne ciertos días para jugar basquet o futbol

    Estamos ansiosos de compartir nuestro estilo de vida, de volver a lo natural, actualmente estamos aprendiendo sobre la bioconstrucción o construcción con materiales naturales y energías renovables, brindamos todo el conocimiento en estas áreas, en la práctica nos encontramos aprendiendo.

    Queremos compartir saberes con todos, siempre un punto de vista diferente cae bien y nutre el tejido universal, la idea es volver a lo natural, volver a conectar
