Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
On a daily basis the volunteers learn about themselves, about others, about the indigenous culture with the close links we have with the children who are the first target audience of our educational and cultural actions. We offer the possibility for volunteers to meditate with us every day, to learn how to cook vegan. But also to plant, forest and cultivate organically.
There is also learning to build a house with organic materials
Help
Everyone can participate in this great life project, the work in the fields is hard but we arrange the hours for work at daybreak and end of the day.
We are looking for people who are voluntary, hard-working, empathetic, with human values rooted in sharing, learning, humility, respect for animals and nature, a great capacity for adaptation, knowing how to live and work with few means. .
