Description
Hello, my name is Eva. I am mother of an adorable 8-years-old boy. I am a woman who is passionate about nature, restoration, music, personal growth and meeting new people. I am also a trainer in agroecology and work transmitting agroecological values to different sectors of the population.
With my son, we are restoring, thanks to the help of many beautiful people like you, 2 stone houses and beginning the process of creating a Syntropic Food Forest in one of our lands. Our project is to create an edible living space where you can live surrounded by nature, love, personal growth and food.
We are based at 11 km from the centre of Ourense, in Galicia. The village is small but with a pleasant and generous neighborhood.
Amoeiro, the closest town, is located 2 km away and has all kind of necessary services as well as transportation to the city.
The walks through natural environments are almost endless: native forests, waterfalls, rivers, small towns, larger cities, etc.
Ourense is known for being an area with hot springs, having numerous places for bathing in dreamy natural settings. It is a city that has a very pleasant nightlife. The city is located one hour from the Atlantic Ocean with idyllic beaches, one hour from Santiago de Compostela, less than an hour from the Portuguese border and 2 hours from the Cantabrian Sea.
Hola, mi nombre es Eva, soy madre de un ser de 7 años adorable. Soy una mujer apasionada por la naturaleza, por la restauración, por la música, por el crecimiento personal y por el conocer gente nueva. Además soy formadora en agroecología, trabajo transmitiendo valores agroecológicos a diferentes sectores de la población.
Con mi hijo estamos restaurando, gracias a la ayuda de mucha gente linda como vosotr@s, 2 casas de piedra e iniciando el proceso de creación de un bosque sintrópico comestible en una de nuestras fincas. Nuestro proyecto es crear un espacio habitable comestible donde vivir rodeados de naturaleza, de amor, de crecimiento personal y de alimentos.
Estamos a 11 km del centro de Ourense, en Galicia.
El pueblo es pequeño pero con una vecinanza agradable y generosa.
Amoeiro está situado a 2 km y posee todo tipo de servicios necesarios así como transporte a la ciudad.
Los paseos por entornos naturales son casi infinitos: bosques autóctonos, cascadas, ríos, pueblecitos, ciudades más grandes, etc.
Ourense es conocida por ser una zona de aguas termales, dispone de numerosos lugares para el baño en entornos naturales de ensueño. Es una ciudad que tiene una vida nocturna muy agradable.
La ciudad está situada a una hora del océano atlántico con playas idílicas, a una hora de Santiago de Compostela, a menos de una hora de la frontera Portuguesa y a 2 horas del mar cantábrico.

Help
The help requested for this volunteer will be: help for various rehabilitation tasks of the house, support in the construction of a syntropic forest, maintenance in the small family garden.
No specific skills are required, the most important thing is to have the desire and be motivated.
One thing very important for me is to receive people that don't make unhealthy use of technologies.
So if you live with your phone in your hand this isn't your place!!!
Applications from people with love for agroecology and bioconstruction / traditional construction will be valued.
La ayuda solicitada para este voluntariado será: ayuda para diversas tareas de rehabilitación de la casa, apoyo en la construcción de un bosque sintrópico, mantenimiento en la pequeña huerta familiar.
No se requieren habilidades específicas, lo más importante es tener ganas y estar motivado.
Una cosa super importante para mí es el recibir a personas que no hagan un uso enfermizo de las tecnologías.
¡¡¡Si te gusta vivir con el movil en la mano, definitívamente este no es tú lugar!!!
Se valorarán candidaturas de personas con amor hacia la agroecología y la bioconstrucción / construcción tradicional.
