    Description

    We are a family organization that promotes a more humane and close to nature way of life, under the principles of environmental and social solidarity, responsibility and awareness. We seek help in the construction of an agroecological farm that demonstrates self-sustainability, a small land that can produce what a family needs, balanced food, decent housing, recreation, education, research, creativity and everything that leads to happiness in the to coexist with nature. We support the development of our project in a solidarity economy based on barter and the place. We are working with bio construction from recycled materials such as pallets, mud, bottles; agroecological practices are carried out under principles of permaculture. We also consider the transfer of technology and knowledge should motivate the peasant population and people with limited resources to invest in low cost technics to develope a sustentable society. We hope the above is enought attractive to call a group of people to work, to promote cultural exchange and to follow a healthy life. We look forward to your collaboration.

    Somos una organización familiar que promueve una forma de vida más humana y cercana a la naturaleza, bajo principios de solidaridad, responsabilidad y conciencia ambientales y sociales. Buscamos ayuda en la construcción de una granja agroecológica que demuestre la auto sostenibilidad, un pequeño terreno que pueda producir lo que una familia necesita, alimentación balanceada, vivienda digna, esparcimiento, educación, investigación, creatividad y todo lo que conduzca a la felicidad en el convivir con la naturaleza. Sustentamos el desarrollo de nuestro proyecto en una economía solidaria basada en el trueque y la sitio. Estamos trabajando con bio construcción a partir de materiales reciclados como estibas, barro, botellas; las prácticas agroecológicas se realizan bajo permacultura, también consideramos la transferencia de tecnología y conocimientos deben motivar a la inversión comprendiendo un bajo costo para la población campesina y de escasos recursos. Lo anterior es atractivo para llamar al trabajo en grupo, al intercambio cultural y a una vida sana. Esperamos tu colaboración.
