I am retired but very active helping village kids go to school, managing solar families project, (solarfamilies.org), writing for local agricultural magazine, caring for chickens, 1 lame but very endearing duck, 6 dogs, many fruit/medicinal trees, and developing new projects toward sustainability. On 21 off-grid acres -- riverfront. All projects welcome as long as they are part of our mission toward sustainability. Expertise needed but not essential in any of these areas -- building pizza oven, aquaponics, gardening, cooking, minor construction, ponds, wastewater filtration.
