Description

We have a small kitchen and it is impractical for everyone to use it at the same time. We have a long-term volunteer who is a vegetarian chef. He makes delicious food with local ingredientes and lots of sprouted food ... The food donation covers this, as well as electricity, toilet roll, gas (brought on a motorbike) etc. Thanks (:

The Experience

Hi my name's Steve, I'm English but have lived in Colombia since 2003. I live with a Colombian family and we are starting an Intentional Community on a stunning 7ha site about an hour's walk from the archaeological capital of Colombia: San Agustin. We expect no experience just a cheery disposition to help with eco building, planting, cleaning, making silly faces to children .... We love playing music together and sharing stories (:

Es un lugar hermoso; con sitios turísticos cercanos para visitar. Rodeado de naturaleza y ambiente armónico. Steve es un gran anfitrión y los voluntarios fueron respetuosos, amables y divertidos. Recomiendo sin lugar a dudas visitar San Agustín y sus alrededores. Disfruté mucho mi estadía en el proyeto!
