My stay with Angie and Jesus was wonderful. They are both very caring and generous people who invited me to family gatherings and paid for me to do agricultural courses. I mainly looked after the animals which wad amazing and I grew really close with the dogs, I may have cried when I had to leave. It is a working farm and very rural. The sleeping quarters are very rustic but the bed is super comfortable and has an amazing view. I got a few hours free every day and I generally got the weekends free also, I just had to feed the animals. Overall great experience.

I was welcomed with open arms from Jesús and Angie. Rght from the start, I feel in love with the animals. It's a quite place where you can enjoy the nature, tranquility and animals. If you want and need a change of scenery and mind, this is your place. The work was not too strenuous, most of the times related to Maíz which they plant there. I loved taking care of the animals and learning more about planting /watering. I joined them in some courses about farming Maíz sustainably and about farming in general. Also I got to improve my Spanish, which I am very happy about. Gracias por todo!

Thank you for your comment, Adebowale.
Debo was with us during the phase of removing the weeds from our field, one of the toughest jobs at the center. He carried it out very well, and the good result of the harvest is largely due to his work and dedication.
We appreciate you taking our project into account and being the first volunteer on this platform. Whenever you like, here you have your home, my friend.
Best wishes and blessings!

Entretenida e interesante experiencia en el proyeto Otontecuhtli el proyeto, Jocotitlán es un pueblo muy tranquilo y agradable. Jesús Irán y Angie son maravillosos anfitriones, me sentí como parte de su familia, gracias por su amistad, convivencia, deliciosas comidas, charlas y paseos. Asimismo, fue relajante interactuar con todos los animales (michis, Momo, becerros y las aves) y estar al aire libre. Especial mención a Salo por su compañía en todo momento (salidas, trabajo y excursiones). Recomiendo ampliamente este voluntariado ^-^.

Trabajar en el campo no es fácil pero definitivamente vale la pena, Jesús y Angy son personas muy amables y cálidas con una enorme conciencia ambiental. Si quieres aprender de permacultura es el sitio ideal.
