  Description

  Hello. We live in the countryside in southern Chile, near forest, pampas, and an inland sea. We are a couple with two babies and are starting a small project to learn to live more simply and sustainably. Right now, we need volunteer help with various tasks on the farm. Nothing touristy or set up: it's real work, learning by doing, and everyday life together.
  
  Hola.
  Vivimos en un campo en el sur de Chile, cerca de bosque, pampa y mar interior. Somos una pareja con dos bebés y estamos armando un proyecto pequeño para aprender a vivir de forma más simple y sostenible.
  
  
  Ahora mismo necesitamos apoyo voluntario para distintas tareas del campo.
  Nada turístico ni armado: es trabajo real, aprendizaje en el hacer y convivencia cotidiana.
