    Description

    Welcome to our Educational Corporation project, nestled in a beautiful, spacious house surrounded by nature. Our property is home to a diverse array of native trees and plants, creating a peaceful and inspiring environment.

    Our mission is to preserve and guide the existing forest while working towards the creation of an edible forest, all in harmony with the natural cycles and needs of the ecosystem. We believe in sustainability, and our goal is to cultivate a space where nature and human activity coexist in a respectful and balanced way.

    We are currently looking for passionate volunteers who are eager to contribute by working the land—planting, cleaning, and organizing the outdoors. As part of our community, you will play an active role in maintaining and nurturing this beautiful environment.

    In exchange for your help, we offer shared accommodation with a comfortable room and bathroom. You will also have access to the house and its facilities, as well as a daily breakfast to fuel your work. Join us in this meaningful journey to support the land, the community, and each other.
