  Description

  My name is Jimmy, I am a 62 year old Colombian and I started an Eco-Project in Taganga close to Santa Marta with two Kogui Indios, who were helping me with permaculture and bio construction to give them a possibility to go to school. My aim is to comtinue the construction of a traditional clay house out of natural and recycable materials to create a place for an intercultural exchange, as well as a place for visitors/volunteers in my house "Tierrita Colorá"...A place to create art!
  For now I just speak spanish, so please try to write any request in spanish!

  Since 30 years i am in close contact with the indeginous tribe of Kogui and here from I am still learning for my own spiritual path. I am happy to share this knowledge to make the world to a better place.
