Description
We are a small artisanal chocolate, jewelry, and gluten free baking company in Panajachel. We are currently working to open a retail store and cultural center. We are in the organization and building stage.
PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE WRITING US.
ONE MONTH MINIMUM unless otherwise stated.
CURRENT OPPOURTUNITIES:
1) Help moving to different house. Need one or 2 strong able people to move boxes, furniture, etc. 2 week minimum.
2) Administrative, office organization, and store opening help. Must have experience.
3) Website help.
4) Graphics and sign painting on our building.
If you love cats and are willing to spend time and play with our cat "Tako" please let us know in your request. We get very busy working here and sometimes don't have enough time to play with him a lot. Anyone who could spend time playing with him each day would be a great asset for us.
IF YOU CONTACT US FOR ANY REASON PLEASE INCLUDE ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING 4 QUESTIONS SO WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ OUR PROFILE:
1 What date do you plan to arrive? Without a potential date we cannot know if we can schedule you.
2 Which position or positions you are applying for and what skills do you have that make you a good fit for that position?
3 How long of a time commitment are you are available for?
4 Have you volunteered with other workaway hosts?
The transitory nature of volunteers makes it exceedingly difficult for us to know when we will have availability. Things tend to change unexpectedly so feel free to check with us anytime. A lot of our volunteers come from last minute requests so don't hesitate to ask. We cannot confirm requests more than a week or 2 in advance as people's plans often change when traveling.
If you write to different hosts and wait to pick the best one, please don't include us in your list. We are very busy, but we do take the time to read every request and answer all of them. Please give us a day or 2 to respond so neither of us end up wasting our time.
Thanks for reading all this, we look forward to hearing from you!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Depending on the country a volunteer comes from, they can benefit from language practice, new culinary experiences, and appreciating the different perspectives of similar subjects. Everyone learns something different with us depending on what it is that interests them. We do many things here. From chocolate, jewelry, cooking and making things, to gardening, philosophy, recycling, social responsibility and gender equity. The more a person puts into their time with us, the more they get out of it.
Aide
We are offering positions for enthusiastic persons to help us with our new project. Minimum time commitments of one month unless otherwise indicated. We have an exceptional project and like to work with exceptional people. We are building a project with the goal to empower local Mayan women and men to be able to access funds generated by the tourist industry in a pragmatic way that improves their educational and economic situation. Our place is not for everyone. This is a serious project about service. It requires dedication and is not always fun. If you are truly service oriented in you participation with workaway we could potentially be a great fit for each other.
We are not open to the public yet, we are still building and organizing for the time being. If you come please be prepared for chaos, listening, learning, and paying attention to how we work. It's usual in the beginning that there will be times when you are waiting for something to do so patience is key. It always takes time to understand how things operate here. That's the reason we give preference to people who can spend a longer time with us.
We offer an unusual opportunity to learn about the history, science, and making of chocolate, recycling, kitchen chemistry, Mayan culture, fermentation, gluten free baking, how to make ice cream, flavor balancing, and many many other things. Mornings are free time and we usually start working around 10 or 11 and break for a meal around 2, but schedules often change for various reasons so flexibility is key.
If you are mature, self reliant, result oriented, and want to help move our projects forward, we welcome you to send a request. Volunteers looking for a convenient cheap way to travel and go out at night and party, or if you need to drink EVERY DAY, please do not request a position with us as we are not a good fit. There are often volunteer opportunities at the many hostels in our area that will be much better suited to that lifestyle.
LONG TERM VOLUNTEERS ARE GIVEN PRIORITY.

Thanks for an amazing couple of months Bob! I got to see the best parts of both Antigua and Panajachel during my time. I highly recommend this work away not only as an opportunity to learn about handmade chocolate and jewelry but also cooking techniques from all over the world in the volunteer kitchen. You will be well fed especially when Bob is… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Takeshi)
Takeshi was a really great volunteer. He adapted to many different jobs with little or no supervision. Always ready to help with a great attitude and cheerful smile, he did an amazing job of helping us get 3 houses and a factory moved from one town to another, 3 hours away. I recommend this guy as an exceptional volunteer!

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Yvonne)
Yvonne was truly among the best volunteers we have ever had, and we have had a lot. She is very responsible, follows instructions well, and always ready to contribute whatever is needed to produce results. Brilliant and beautiful, I cannot recommend her enough. Anyone who is lucky enough to host her will be glad they did. Thanks Yvonne, for… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Lillian)
Lily was a very good volunteer for us. She did a great job cutting labels, disinfecting the kitchen areas each night, and kept her room and things clean and in order. She did her work, kept her agreements, and was a real team player. I would definitely recommend her to other hosts.

Laissé par le workawayer (Amanda) pour l'hôte
I had a lovely time staying with Bob in Antigua! The living arrangements and food were wonderful, but on top of it all I learned so much from hanging out with Bob. He is a fantastic host who has a lot of good things to say on all kinds of subjects from chocolate to politics to culture to life. While I was here, I also learned all about the history… read more

We had a good experience hosting Amanda. She helped out with many different tasks and learned and adapted quickly to our organization. She has an easy and pleasant personality, lots of energy, and was truly a pleasure to be around. She fit in well with our team and I would gladly host her again.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Ann)
It was very nice to host Ann. She is brilliant with marketing help, and has a solid work ethic. Even though there were allergy issues and she had to leave early, she still completed the work she started and sent it later. I would gladly recommend her for any host.

Great experience working with Bob. Never expected to learn so much. Not just about chocolate but the community as well.
Tranquil location, kitchen was always stocked with a great variety of fruits and veggies. Bob is a great cook but if you're lucky he'll take you out to a few local eateries, jewels of Antigua, that most visitors would never… read more

Bob has a ton of interesting projects to get involved with, and is in a beautiful location - great food, great chocolate, and great people.
Bob genuinely cares about providing a beneficial experience for all who come into his house, and treats his workawayers as family. Be prepared to learn a lot while here, about chocolate, cooking, and life.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Roger & Sari)
Everyone says good things about these guys, but the truth is, Roger and Sari are an absolute joy to host. They were working each day before I woke up and hardly stopped until the sun went down. They pay attention to what they are doing and complete what they start. If you host these guys be sure to have plenty for them to do. They are polite,… read more

Chocolate Bob! The name says it all.. hard to believe that we were with you for over a month, time certainly flies. For any prospective volunteers, the place is in an ideal location, the accomodation and food is a+ (maybe the food has to get an a+++). Take good care of Bob and help him grow his business.. So glad we could be his first experience… read more
