    Description

    I am a mom of a 6 year old boy who wants to live very close to natural style of living. We like to make many things by our hands, play with the soil, plants, we like natural healthy foods. I traveled around the world as a volunteer on many permaculture farms and I like to learn about different cultures and teach directly about them to kids in a small Mayan village which I call my home. With the project I would like to have an intercultural exchange and support the idea of building a better future for our world and our kids.

    We are planning an education project for kids from Mayan village and the plan is to be as much sustainable as we can. We want to be able to grow our own food and build eco-friendly buildings. You would be asked to teach workshops for kids, or maintain the garden, build spaces for teaching, maybe cooking, first volunteers would be asked to help us improve our spaces for accommodating people.
