    Description

    EN: Hello!!!! I'm Silvia :)
    I am developing a beautiful initiative in a community of Villa Montes, in the Bolivian Chaco. Since January I have been working with local residents and indigenous peoples carrying out permacultural activities.
    We are looking for volunteers who can share their permacultural knowledge with us and help reactivate the family and school gardens.
    In your free time, there are tons of places to see and other activities to do. You can go hiking in the area, swim in the river, etc.
    The house is located 3 km from the project, in the town of Villa Montes, Tarija. I would love to make you feel comfortable in my home, so that you feel prepared for your next adventure in Bolivia.
    I speak a little French and Portuguese.
