Description
Hey Everyone, My name is Jesse I was born 1990 and am 34 at the moment of writing this. I take care of my 12 year old brother Hugh full time. Which makes me a Bro-Dad. I own my own little HardScaping business and play on equipment, build stone walls and sculpt earth for a living. I have a non profit , I'll share more details later. And finally a new non profit I'm conceptualizing and prototyping.and it is my attempt to offer a correction to our present educational institutions. I believe education should be free for all people because the better educated we are, the more effectively we can contribute to civilization. I also believe that an intelligent civilization would not only offer people free education, but access to their needs while they study. The second non profit strives to create a healthy educational hub that has the capacity to expand and grow organically over time.
Alex is the best roommate and will be supporting me with the project. 40s
Billy is excited about participating and supporting the vision as well. 30s
Fran brings some loving and caring female energy to our space. 40s
Gabriel is one of our first students, he is Frans son and a cofounder of the first nonprofit. 20s
Hugh is my little Bro. 12
Theo is a hairy viking cat. best cat ever.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love traveling and meeting new people from different cultures. Having travellers come and stay at my place is a good substitute for the times that I must stay in one place. I see myself as an earthing, a human from this planet and do not have any feelings of nationality. We are all humans, from this earth, we all need the same things to thrive. We are one people with a great diversity and ability to unify.
Living here, you will be exposed to concepts of loyalty to all of humanity. Concepts of economics that are understood by a very select few in todays world. And, visions of a healthy civilization that we can bring to this beautiful planet with dedication, understanding and focus.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
This is something I've wanted to create for a very long time. Coming to stay here with us will allow you the freedom to sign up to an online class and develop your skills while having all your basic needs provided for. thisplace offers a free educational experience, access to equipment and online classes (in some instances). We will hold you accountable in your studies and create a foundation for us to strengthen our community and our civilization. You will learn a lot about yourself, your topic of study, your world and our common heritage as humans on earth.
We are looking for people interested in self improvement and helping us build stronger community connections. Requirements:
-10 hours a week towards house hold tasks such as sweeping, mopping, cleaning, cooking, organizing and other such things (Basically participate in activities any adult needs to do on a daily basis)
-10 hours a week towards Community engagement (There are so many things we could be doing to engage the local community, such as sending helpers to local farms to help with their harvesting or other work, using your newly developing skills to help small businesses or individuals with marketing, film work or other things, picking up garbage from the town centre, reestablishing trails in local parks that need attention. The possibilities are plenty and we can discus some ideas. We are open to your input :)
Expectations:
-20 hours a week towards self improvements (studying something, usually online) (Someone interested in grant writing would be awesome to start. An aspiring chief would also be awesome. But we will consider all sorts of interests from music and the arts, to media and film, marketing, web design and many other things)
-Participate in accountability meetings in order to share what you've been learning and keep everyone on track.
