  Descrição

  We are Amandine, Pancho, Ilan (5 years old) and Aina (2 years old), a French-Ecuadorian family living on a small farm located in the cloud forest mountains of southern Ecuador. We are dedicated to permaculture and the production of products from the harvest of our food forest. We share our life with 3 cats, 1 mule and chickens.
  We seek to have a life in symbiosis with nature, simple, returning to the essentials, and that is why we also decided to do homeschooling with a tendency to unschooling with our children. Following their rhythm, their needs of the moment, learning from daily life, from nature seems to us to be essential.
  
  We live in a small place in the mountains. where approximately 10 families live dedicated to agriculture and panela production. We have the goal of reopening the school on the site (which was closed several years ago) to have a school here with alternative pedagogy or at least start organizing weekly activities with the children of the community.
  
  If you have experience in children's education, alternative pedagogies or you simply like teaching children and you think you can contribute something to them (music, art, cooking, language,...) and you also like to live a simple life in nature, without a lot of luxury, but a nice view of the mountains, having breakfast watching toucans and hummingbirds and good times shared, we are waiting for you!!
  
  
  Somos Amandine, Pancho, Ilan (5años) y Aina (2 años), una familia franco-ecuatoriano viviendo en una pequeña finca situada en las montanas del bosque nublado del sur del ecuador. Nos dedicamos a la permacultura y elaboracion de productos con la cosecha de nuestro bosque comestible. Compartimos nuestra vida con 3 gatos, 1 mula y gallinas.
  Buscamos tener una vida en simbiosis con la naturaleza, sencilla, regresar a lo esencial, y por eso tambien decidimos hacer homeschooling con tendancia hasta el unschooling con nuestros hijos. Seguir su ritmo, sus necesidades del momento, aprender de la vida diaria, de la naturaleza nos parece ser lo esencial.
  
  Vivimos en un pequeno sitio en las montanas. donde viven aproximadamente unas 10 familias dedicadas a la agricultura y elaboracion de la panela. Tenemos el objetivo de reabrir la escuela del sitio (que fue cerrada hace varios anos) para tener aqui una escuela con pedagogia alternativa o por lo menos empezar organizando actividades semanales con los ninos de la comunidad.
  
  Si tienes experiencia en educacion de ninos, pedagogias alternativas o simplement te gusta ensenar a ninos y piensas que puedes aportarles algo (musica, arte, cocina, idioma, ...) y ademas te gusta vivir una vida sencilla y en la naturaleza, sin mucho lujo, pero linda vista a las montañas, desayunar mirando tucanes y colibríes y buenos momentos compartidos, te esperamos !!
