What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?
A big part of my childhood was spent on Beautiful Kauai, HI. To this day I still know a community of organic farmers, In fact I might go work with them again as means of visiting my home and one of my favorite places for a little while. I am mostly interested in Central America though. When I was 12 13 and 14 years old I worked on orchards and farms for vegetables, fruits and naturally raised animals. I learned the process of respectful slaughter of animals. i learned about harvesting fruit and vegetables. I would still consider myself green in the sense that i am not as educated as I would like to be in those subjects but hey thats why I am here on this website is because i want to learn as much as I can about our mother earth and how to keep her fresh!

What do you want the farms and fellow WWOOFers to know about you?
My name is Kelly Kokora, I grew up all over the west coast of the united states. Mostly Boulder CO and Kauai Hawaii but many other places along the way. Currently I live in Denver CO and I run 2 restaurants with a company called Chipotle Mexican Grill where we serve tacos and burritos! I have been with the company for 4 years now. When I started I was 19 years old and started out as a cashier. Within 3 years I had worked my way up to become a general manager overseeing just one. I trained a friend of mine to become a general manager and now oversee his and mine. I could keep going like this promoting people and working my way up to a director position overseeing 10-50 restaurants yet at this point in my life i am ready for a new challenge. Lifes too short to stick with one trade or concept in your life. We are all capable of so much and so Im leaving my job to learn as much as I can about our beautiful creation of life. I have no plan, I have goals and dreams but I just want to live and flow with life as it goes and follow my heart with confidence that where ever I go will be great. While working with Chipotle I fell in love with the latin culture and can't wait to learn as much as I can about Mexico, central and south America. This website is perfect for me because I love organic farming and have the strongest desire to experience many different parts of Mexico, to south America I love the outdoors and everything that it has to offer but I also appreciate the way the world is today, games of pool with friends and family. Great food can bring together Great community and I love to cook for people who are gathering for a good time. I would love to learn more about food and the culture that comes with different types of food. Organic farming sounds like a perfect way for me to start learning about food because I will be learning the process of growing it first from its base and then with respect cooking and eating it. I love to surf which is another reason I am leaving my intensive career so that I can pick up hobbies that I love with the time that I will be creating for myself by leaving the job that I work 60 hours a week in. It has been a while since I have busted out my short board for a sesh out with he waves, so I am probably a bit rusty but thats part of the challenge and fun! . Life can be your creation and is ultimately what you make of each moment
