    Description

    My name is Susana, I am 68 years old, I am a Sagittarius and a monkey in the Chinese horoscope.

    The garden is my bet in the meantime. It is a space that has been shared with many people who came spontaneously, now I open myself to cyberspace because I am sure that there are many others waiting for this game, which is to be in relation with the pleasure of eating, breathing, and listening directly to nature.

    The garden aims to be a self-sustaining project, for personal and community consumption, not commercial. Since 2016, various people have contributed to make it the peaceful place it is today.

    The garden expects volunteers to make a real commitment to the care of this piece of land.
    All activities related to the care of life such as, tilling the land, hilling it up, looking at it, watering it, caring for animals, interacting with children from the area who come to share their school and childhood demands.

    Since it is a place of diverse tasks (land, DIY, repair, carpentry, art, animals, and others) volunteers can choose the ones they would like or can offer. These agreements will be made prior to arrival.

    Since it is a temporary community, schedules and tasks are agreed upon with Nona based on demands at the time, with work time being 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with two days of rest to choose from.

    The food in our house is vegetarian and simple, those people who would like to eat meat (or other things that I do not offer) can eat their food and bring it (except meat) and/or go to restaurants in the town.
    Lunch is provided by the place and the other meals will be provided by each person according to their cultures and customs.

    The town can be easily reached from Sucre (30 minutes by bus).

    It is important that people who arrive speak Spanish. Because I do not speak other languages ​​and it is important for communication.

    In this space you cannot consume or have illegal drugs in Bolivia.

    I expect a practice of solidarity and respect.
    The main task is to take care of the space and its participants.

    Me llamo Susana, tengo 68 años, soy Sagitario y mono en el horóscopo chino.

    La huerta es mi apuesta en este entretanto. Es un espacio que ha sido compartido con muchas personas que llegaron de manera espontánea, ahora me abro al ciberespacio porque tengo la seguridad de que existen muchos otros más a la espera de este juego, que es estar en relación con el placer de comer, respirar, y escuchar directamente a la naturaleza.

    La huerta pretende ser un proyecto auto sostenible, para consumo propio y comunitario, no comercial. Desde 2016, diversas personas han contribuido para que llegue a ser el lugar apacible que es hoy.

    La huerta espera de los voluntarios un compromiso real con el cuidado de este pedazo de tierra.
    Todas las actividades referentes al cuidado de la vida como, labrar la tierra, aporcarla, mirarla, regarla, cuidado de animales, interactuar con niños de la zona que vienen a compartir sus demandas escolares y de infancia.

    Al ser un lugar de diversas tareas, (tierra, bricolaje, reparación, carpintería, arte, animales, y otros) los voluntarios pueden elegir las que quisieran o que puedan ofrecer. Estos acuerdos se realizarán previa llegada.

    Al ser una comunidad transitoria se acuerda horarios y tareas con la Nona por demandas en el momento, siendo el tiempo de trabajo 5 horas al día, 5 días a la semana, teniendo dos días de descanso a elección.

    La alimentación en nuestra casa es vegetariana y sencilla, aquellas personas que quisieran comer carne (o otras cosas que no ofrezco) pueden consumir su comida y traerla (excepto carne) y/o acceder a restaurantes en el pueblo.
    El almuerzo está a cargo del lugar y las demás comidas estarán a cargo de cada uno según sus culturas y costumbres.

    Se puede llegar al pueblo fácilmente desde Sucre (30 minutos en colectivo).

    Es importante que las personas que lleguen hablen español. Porque yo no hablo otras lenguas y es importante para la comunicación

    En este espacio no se puede consumir ni tener drogas ilegales en Bolivia.

    Espero de toda una práctica de solidaridad y respeto.
    La principal tarea es el cuidado del espacio y sus participantes.
