Description
Hello, my name is David, at 28 years ago I left the city, I gave up my profession, my job, my friends, etc. to live closer to nature, 15 years have passed, I have three children and my wife, I use permaculture as philosophy and tool for a more sustainable and self-sustaining life. Our farm is located in Sorata, which is a beautiful valley 3 hours away from the city of La Paz, with a temperate and very pleasant climate all year round, surrounded by large mountains and rivers, an ideal place to escape from the city.
In addition to Permaculture, I am very interested in philosophy, chess, music, and education. I like to teach and learn from people. The volunteers' task is mainly on the farm, in the kitchen and also with my children and other children in the community.
We don't speak English but we would love to learn.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Throughout these years we have learned many things, about how to live in the countryside, how to raise children, etc. Things we love to share.
In their free time, volunteers can take the opportunity to rest in the hammocks, walk along the river, play with the children, take walks around the area or talk with the family.
Something very important for us are books and seeds, if you can help us get them we will be very grateful,
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Volunteers will help in the garden, preparing the land to plant vegetables, legumes and cereals, weeding, construction and general maintenance tasks of the farm. We are also interested in people who can teach our children: English, yoga, music, meditation, painting, etc.

If you’re looking for a volunteer opportunity in Bolivia, I highly recommend this place.
David’s family warmly welcomed me, even though I couldn’t speak Spanish.
The environment they live in was absolutely wonderful.
Thank you!
