  Description

  We are a family of 5, my parents and 3 siblings, living in a small village called Andabamba, 45 min away from the city of Huanuco, Peru. The property is big and our project is to build a place where people can gather together and make art, meditate, enjoy gardening and nature, while we exchange cultures and create a community between visitors and the villagers.
  The house has the view of the mountains nearby and there are lots of fruit trees and an edible garden. We have a pool inside and the weather is warm all year long!
  Also, we're very close to pre-colonial archaeological places like "Kotosh", there's a pintoresque village called Tomaykichwa to visit and lots of hiking to the mountains and nearby lakes.
  Right now, we need help in the vegetable garden and fruit trees, and general maintenance of the house.
  Also, we would love to do more projects that could be nice to built up with the help of volunteers, like pottery, knitting projects, mural painting, a clay oven for bread, etc. Also, sometimes we get help from neighbors around and share time with them as well.
  Mélani, the oldest sister, is the only one who speaks english fluently and the rest of the family understands just the basic, so a basic knowledge of spanish is required.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  This is a good opportunity to learn about the agriculture in this region, to get to experience life in a tranquil village close to nature and share with the villagers. We're a arsty and crafty family, so we would love to spend time creating art together, we have a sewing machine, clay for pottery and all that is needed for artistic painting.
  As a visual artist and traveler myself (Mélani), I can teach you about what I know, I'm so happy to create together and show you around this place!
  Also, this is a good opportunity for practicing and learning spanish and enjoy the slow-paced time here.

  Aide

  We are looking for help taking care of the vegetable garden and trees mainly, farming, harvesting. We will share the task with the volunteers. We're open for advice about how to make it more sustainable and organic. Also, we need help in the general maintenance of the house, like painting walls or feeding the chickens.
  Also, if there are volunteers with more arsty skills or mindfullness knowledge (yoga, meditation), we are more than happy to welcome them so we can share and learn together.
