    Description

    Hello world,

    I am from Tenerife and I have lived in many countries during my life adventure. Recently I settied in the pacific coast of Mexico near Careyes and Cuixmala. Im an education curriculum designer and personal tutor. Im also working on creating two small businesses. One of which is called the Mambesito.

    The Mambesito is a small community art cafe with a focus on music, natural products, authentic relating, raising funds for social impact projects, sharing knowledge and creating community.

    Books, collecting vinyl, clothes, coffee, art, kombucha, mambe & ambil, rape, good sound system, perhaps in the future some classes in yoga, dance and martial arts.

    This is a philanthropic project.

  • Help

    Help

    It would help me to have support in the following areas. Unlikely that one person can help with all of these, but the more flexibility the better

    Adding value to the Mambesito by

    brainstorming ideas for the cafe. Improving the look, the services offered, optimising the operation, ideas for events, marketing the place on instagram

    DIY improvements for the cafe

    Help organising events and with the marketing in that social impact initiative

    Helping me to look after my dog Nala, going for walks with her etc

    If you are a musician, would love to have you play music at times during the evenings. Im a percussionist so Id love to jam out.

    If you have experience cooking, could be amazing to help me with creating some easy to make ideas for the cafe. Also we would cook at the house for regular meals. I am learning to cook lately.
