Profile Information

What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?: Growing my own organic vegetables in my garden, fruit picking on farms and helping a friend in his garden

What are your reasons for joining WWOOF Mexico?: Learning about sustainable living and agriculture, Getting to know Mexico better

What do you want the farms and fellow WWOOFers to know about you?: I am a novice but very willing to learn and develop new skills. I am not scared of hard work. I hope to learn Spanish whilst traveling and volunteering in Mexico, Central and South America and am happy to help with others learning English. I want to use the knowledge I aquire to spread the word and encourage others to farm in eco/sustainable ways.I have limited experience apart from fruit picking, my own garden veggie patch and helping a friend out. I feel very strongly that farming practices need to change globally if we are to help our very vulnerable planet and would like to learn more about how to do this. I firmly believe that whilst individuals can't change the world single handedly we can make a difference if enough people try hard enough. I have worked additional jobs to save up enough to be able to do this job. When I eventually get back to the UK I will have nothing so I am investing a lot into this very important experience.

The owner Dolores is an amazing woman with a huge heart whom I have the upmost respect… Continue
