  • Description

    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.
