Description
We are a family of four. We live in a great natural area just next to "monte verde" forest (which is a particular kind of forest of Laurisilva ecosystem)in the city La Esperanza. We have a great house full of big windows to watch the farm and the trees. We work as artists and forest engineering and we want to make a place to share ideas and create natural spaces to enjoy the nature and the community.
We are working in art projects and managing projects to help the problem around the climate change and the massive consumption and the society.

Help
We´ve been living in this house for 5 years, and we need help to organise all the tools and strengh to organise all the material of the garden and some building issues. As well we would need some help with wood projects.
We would also love to build an eco farm in the garden and we would appreciate people who has already develop projects in organic agriculture or permaculture.
you will live with us, you will have ur own bedroom outside the main house but the house is sharing from 8am to 18h.
Nowadays the first support we need is in small maintenance and childcare, as we are now 4 and we have much stress in daily routines.
