  Description

  Hello! My name is Silvia, and I live with my son Sebastian. We are building our living spaces; this place is beautiful. Some days my granddaughter visits us. We aspire to be self-sufficient, so we are planting a vegetable garden and building a chicken coop. But these months we are finishing building our houses, made of wood and mud, and also clearing the land of branches and weeds. We want to make the place beautiful. For all this, we need a few more hands! We live surrounded by nature, coexisting with the wildlife and neighbouring pets that visit us. We recycle the resources that the earth gives us, as well as those we acquire. We like to learn about different cultures and exchange ideas. We offer you a tent to sleep in and a space to cook. We provide lunch and snacks. We use a dry toilet and cook mainly with firewood, but we also have a gas stove. We do not have running water, so to shower you use a bucket, as in the countryside. We spend most of our time outdoors having lunch and spending time together now that it is summer and we are building our houses. We ask for your help with the tasks to move our project forward, at least 15 hours per week. We will work with you three hours per day, being flexible in organising them. They are simple tasks, and we will guide you in what to do and how to do it. We are learning as we go, it is challenging, and your contribution is very valuable. We only ask that you are willing to collaborate. Kind regards.
  
  Hola ! Mi nombre es Silvia , vivo con mi hijo Sebastian . Estamos contruyendo nuestros espacios para vivir , este lugar es hermoso . Hay dias q nos visita mi nieta. Aspiramos al autosustento , haciendo una huerta y un gallinero. Pero en estos meses estamos terminando de construir nuestras casas ,en madera y barro, tambien limpiando el terreno de ramas y malezas , deceamos poner lindo el lugar . Para todo eso necesitamos un par de manos mas ! Vivimos rodeados de naturaleza ,convivimos con la fauna y mascotas vecinas q nos visitan , reciclamos los recursos q nos da la tierra , y los que adquirimos tambien. Nos gusta conocer culturas diferentes, intercambiarlas. Te ofercemos una tienda de campaña para dormir, y un espacio donde cocinar ,proporcionamos un almuerzo y merienda. Usamos baño seco, y cocinamos mayormente a leña, pero tenemos cocina de gas . No tenemos agua corriente , o sea que para ducharse se usa el baño a jarrita , como en campaña. La mayor parte del tiempo pasamos al aire libre para almorzar y pasar el tiempo ahora que estamos en verano y en construccion de nuestras casas. Te pedimos colaboracion en las tareas para avanzar en nuestro proyecto, al menos 15 hs semanales , trabajaremos junto a ti, tres horas al dia , siendo flexibles al organizarlas, son tareas sencillas , te vamos a guiar en que y como hacerlas . Estamos aprendiendo sobre la marcha , es desafiante y tu aporte es muy valioso, esperamos de ti ,solo tus ganas de colaborar . Saludos cordiales.
