Description
Welcome!
We ask a minimum of 2 weeks, but we rather a month.
This is friendly place a bit further out of town, where we enjoy life close to the river of Puerto Escondido. It is pretty chill place, quiet and full of green plants. There is also a beautiful building painted with murals: its the perfect mix between a little village and the nature!
The house is a big place with garden and dogs. We can provide a van for sleep or a tent on the roof top where you can enjoy a better vew. It is a bit wild so we dont recomend people who like urban life.
Public transport is available and soon we will have a motor bike to rent for cheaper than a taxi ride.Types of help and learning opportunities

Help
Anybody with a smile! I would love some help for clean the house every day. We can oganize a food at home but we will talk about when you arrive and see if we coincidate on the diet and time :) it will be some cofe or te in the morning. We also need artists to make murals and remake some who are now old. Some gardening and watering plants. I like to do a lot of projects, the one coming are buid a camping, reconstruir the carvan and his terras, make acople of palms roof, weld some furnitures that you are welcome to learn to.
I ask 1./2 hours help per day, I guess is gona be about an hour cleaning or cooking, and then a bit of improvisation. Ideas are welcome how to improve the place or make it more beatifull, every body can bring a nice idea!Languages

You will be able to sleep in the van (pictures avialbe) that is like a cabin, you own little private cabin in the garden with shade. The shower is shared but you will have your own toilet bathroom. Also there is the roof top that you can camp, but we still have to buildl a shade and make it confi :)What else ...
40 minuts from the beah walking, but 10 in bus. We are five minuts walking to the river. There are many things to do around, if by chance i have just one volunteer i will be able to bring it with me in my bike everywhere. There is good party and really cool places to walk, even out of town.
