Details
Description
Working in a project that integrates ecology, clean energies, farming and nature preservation in a little land space that is located 5 km away from the beautiful pueblo of San Marcos Sierras.
Our land by the river gives a very nice view landscape that enables us to work with plants and open spaces.
There are 2 geodesic domes at our glamping, one is available for hosting up to 4 volunteers. (when its not occupied)
Here you can learn about solar energies (because all the infrasetructure works with this kind of tech, enough energy to iluminate all houses, a water pump, water heating and irrigating systems).
We will be working with plants and open spaces, you can also learn about healthy cooking meals.
We love art, when we are not working, we like to create art projects. We are also an Art Residence.
Building mantainence is one of the things we need help with.
We built two years ago a beautifull tree House, and an adobe House by the River.
2 weeks min., but willing to extend for long term volunteering.
We can offer an entire house /Geodesic Dome to sleep, a small kitchen, and a private bathroom.
Work is a way to relate and learn, we would appreciate if you already have experience as a volunteer.
We would also like someone who is self-iniciative and does not wait for us to tell them what to do.
