Coding Lessons for web and games, building tipees and farming in Manchioneal, Jamaica

  Description

  Hi! I have a platform where we gamify climate action and I am tired of waiting on coders so I need to learn code myself! I am looking for someone who can teach Javascript (not React) or C#, C++, and/or PHP and how APIs work!
  In exchange you can stay in Portland near the beach!
  I also want to farm in Portland and build tipees out of bamboo that can be closed at night with a camping tent inside for more security.
  That way we can have residencies where people eat from the land and enjoy the nature and create something for the website while on a retreat! They will appreciate the planet more when they get to see somewhere that is threatened, and the beauty we could lose.
  Lots more to do together! If you live a green lifestyle with us, you can be a guest on our podcast, and talk about sustainability and the future we want to see!
  We provide meals and simple camping accommodation, the house is quite rustic but building towards more and more each day!

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Great opportunity to experience countryside living in Jamaica, great chance to get to know the community, great tips on places to visit and things to do to get the full Jamaican experience, ability to be part of the podcast if you wish and share your experiences of living carbon neutrally and how that feels for you, ability to be a beach bum and eventually live off the land, learn some patois, listen to Jamaican music, chill at the neighbourhood bars and go to beach parties, visit the nearest cities on the green buses.

  Help

  If you can help:
  Teach code in Javascript (no React), maybe C# and C++, really want PHP, and API knowledge, how to work with them. Games making experience a bonus!
  
  Building tipees: bamboo tipees to shelter camping tents and have a door that closes so guests are secure.
  
  Farming: Farming food for the family and potential visitors who come to see the nature and fight to protect it.

  What else ...

  Portland is beautiful. It is the most gorgeous and lush part of the island to me. It's densely forested, there are mountains all around, and the coastline is beautiful. The Rio Grande where you can go rafting, Somerset Falls, Reach Falls, Boston Bay where they are famous for their cuisine, Blue Lagoon... Ocho Rios and Montego Bay are along the coast so it is an easy drive.
  
  We're 2 and a half hours away from Kingston so you can go to the Bob Marley Museum, Devon House, the National Gallery, etc.
  We are smoker friendly but do not smoke (anymore).
