    Description

    WE ARE FULL UNTIL NEXT YEAR
    I will first describe myself ,I´m a curious (study physics ) , happy and social person that has travel a litle around the world and enjoy a lot to share culture with other travelers. I live n the old house of my family and need help to improve it and maintenance, (not much anymore) Some painting , carpentry, cleaning, organizing etc...
    I ´m the founder and the actual presidente of a small NGO about technology recycling we are a great team that focus in:
    First digital education with social excluded people (refugees , Gipsy , inmigrantes , adults, teenagers, etc...), so if you want you maybe will have a beautiful experience as a teacher.
    The second goal is to reduce and reuse as much as we can the technology , we try to make business to donate the early waste of their technology . The quantity of trash technology is amazing.
    We have to grow and maintenance social media of the NGO (Facebook , Instagram and linked in) .
    We need also help with administration , teachimg and order, design projects.
    We have several ideas and projects that can be developed, and we are open to any good new ideas.
    In reality we dont have enough time to build all the great ideas and all the work this NGO needs.
    We are open to organice 75% of the time in the NGO and 25% of the time (not need so much anymore) in the house task, or other percentage of time.
    Please don´t hesitate to contact us, and to enroll our "family" where we care about each other , talk about life , dreams, doubts or anything that comes out.
    I have traveled as a workaway and now I know for sure that our workaway is a great - great experience, also you must take a look in our feedbacks to feel the mood and to be sure to aply.
    We like the philosophy and the phylosophy in general .
    I´m sure it will be a pleasure to share some time and projects with you.
    We wish you a great travel and life (sorry about the English mistakes.)
    Big hugs
