  Description

  English:
  
  Hello! My name is Alma, I am a rural school teacher and a writer. DeI have rented a country house on the outskirts of a small town called Mogotes. It is near Cocuy snowy, Chicamocha Canyon, San Gil, Barichara and Bucaramanga in Santander towards the northeast of the country. It is a charming place for contact with nature, to do yoga, meditate and be calm, there is a river nearby to contemplate. We need your help to continue with the tasks of the place and some improvements. The residence is very close to town and the community is quiet
  
  I have received travelers for 5 years (Most of the photos are from this experience) and now I am starting on this volunteering platform that seems great to me and I am very grateful that it exists: )
  
  For your volunteering it is not necessary that you are a teacher or have experience as an educator, it is enough that you have a spirit of service and are encouraged to contribute to the project in whatever you like. It would be awesome to practice Vipassana meditation, yoga, Tai-Chi or a vow of silence one afternoon. 🕉
  
  I am also very interested in sports, cycling and skating. The arts such as literature and dance
  
  Something important is that you know that your accommodation will be in a camping tent. If you don't have one, I can lend you one and all the camping equipment so that you are comfortable.
  
  
  At the moment we can't offer you the food but the activities are very simple and relaxed with only 15 hours a week of collaboration.
  
  Don't forget to ask me for the tree that you going to plant
  
  See you soon
