Help
There is plenty of things to do, but the main 2 projects I need help with now are:
1.- BIOPISCINE, Bio pool, Organic pool: Digging the hole, shovelig dirt, breaking rock. I have studied it for 3 years and have a design i want to execute, so now Im gonna start the project. If you are interested in learning and are hardworking, this is your chance to learn and practice on how to do a pool with rocks, uv light and plant filters to avoind use of Chlorine and acids. Free, healthy, pure, respected water :D
2.- Chicken coop: When bored, tired or want to excercise different muscles, there is the building of a NICE, STRONG, STURDY ANTI FELINE CHICKEN COOP.
The work may include carrying wheelbarrels of soil, sand, logs, dirt, and picking garbage from the streets as part of our cleaning commitment to the Sacred Mayan Jungle. So youll get your workout while getting something built.
5 hours of active help and prefer somebody who rests, write, paints, exercises etc IN SITU, just being there to take care of the property. Active help MON-FRI
It may include Gardening, building an automatic irrigation system and filling holes in the street.
If you are a Workout trainer, its a plus, im interested in equipping my rooftop with an "open gym" and learn how to train and gain muscle, so if you are savy in this matter, also welcome.
Is essential you have done this things and have some experience or at least be very capable, strong, willing and dilligent.
May be cooking or cleaning if necessary. Be open. Being Volunteer is being humble and open to experience and Learn, If you are doing this because you dont have money, please dont come. We have noticed those have the worst attitudes. Do this for pleasure.
Masonry experience to build a outdoor Bathtub with rocks??? That'd be awsome.
I need Responsible, Respectful, Clean, Comitted, Proactive, Skilfull, Strong, Trustworthy, Autonomous, Capable, Independent, diligent volunteers.
Minimal stays of 2, weeks as it is time consuming to explain how everything works. Depending on your Skills & Profile I can consider more time. Or less.
