  Description

  "Hola! We're Ade (from Ecuador) and Joseph (from Puerto Rico, USA), and we're creating something truly special in the Chillos Valley, near Quito. Imagine a tranquil farm sanctuary, nestled just outside the city bustle, where we can offer yoga and counseling to help others find peace. We envision this space as a vibrant hub for cultural exchange, a place where people from all over the world can connect, share stories, and learn from each other – and we'd love for you to be a part of it!
  
  Our farm is already home to a lively bunch – sheep, chickens, cats, dogs, and a couple of cows – and to my wonderful mother, Jazmín (65), who lives next door. Jazmín is a passionate gardener, but needs a little help these days due to an arm injury. That's where you come in! We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to lend a hand with daily tasks, animal care, garden projects, and bringing our vision for the wellness space to life. In exchange, we offer an unforgettable Ecuadorian experience. Plus, you'll be perfectly located to explore nearby lagoons, waterfalls, and shops!"

  "¡Hola! Somos Ade (de Ecuador) y Joseph (de Puerto Rico, EE. UU.), y estamos creando algo verdaderamente especial en el Valle de los Chillos, cerca de Quito. Imagina un santuario tranquilo en una finca, ubicado justo a las afueras del bullicio de la ciudad, donde podamos ofrecer yoga y consejería para ayudar a otros a encontrar paz. Visualizamos este espacio como un vibrante centro de intercambio cultural, un lugar donde personas de todo el mundo puedan conectarse, compartir historias y aprender unos de otros – ¡y nos encantaría que seas parte de ello!
  
  Nuestra finca ya es el hogar de un grupo animado – ovejas, gallinas, gatos, perros y un par de vacas – y de mi maravillosa madre, Jazmín (65 años), quien vive al lado. Jazmín es una apasionada de la jardinería, pero necesita un poco de ayuda en estos días debido a una lesión en el brazo. ¡Ahí es donde entras tú! Buscamos voluntarios entusiastas que nos echen una mano con las tareas diarias, el cuidado de los animales, proyectos de jardín y para hacer realidad nuestra visión del espacio de bienestar. A cambio, ofrecemos una experiencia ecuatoriana inolvidable. Además, ¡estarás perfectamente ubicado para explorar lagunas, cascadas y tiendas cercanas!"

  Aide

  Our current project involves converting an open shed (adjacent to our house) into a yoga and counseling studio. This includes installing flooring and landscaping the surrounding area. We also need assistance with general farm tasks, helping my mom with her garden, and caring for the animals.
