Description
This is a social, cultural and ecological project ubicated in the center of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas.
One part of the project is the living area, with rooms for volunteers and families in need, a comunitary restaurant and an artesanal shop.
The other part is a small ranch, just across the street, with farm animals (goats, sheep, bunnies and poultry) and a wide vegetable garden.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Although I am French, and can speak English, you'll be living in a mexican environment. There's a mexican couple living on the premises (the lady will cook for you), and you'll be working and interacting with an woman and her children from one of the comunities around who comes to help everyday
Help
The workawayers will be asked to
* take care of the animal areas (cleaning, sometimes feeding, etc...)
* water all the areas that grow food and plants (including the garden in the living area)
* harvest food for the animal and cut grass
* walk the 4 dogs
Depending on everyone skills :
* create and manage a flower and a medicinal garden
* build animal shelters, or other small things (benches, tables...)
* help and learn with bioconstruction

Accommodation
At the moment, the project is still on construction. So the rooms we have are only for volunteers. We have 2 rooms (1 with 3 single beds, 1 with one single bed and 1 double bed). The rooms are basics but nice and clean.
We don't manage many volunteers at the same time (max 2/3 or a family), so you'll probably have a room for yourself)
The fridge, the shower and the dry toilet are shared.
What else ...
We offer 2 options of stay :
* just housing (without food) => 3 hours a day, 5 days a week
* housing + 2 meals per day => 4 hours a day, 5 days a week + 2 hours on an additional day
It's fundamental that you love and care for animals !
The place is quiet and super nice.
No drinking, no using drugs, smoking allowed only outside the living area, no loud music...
