La Hacienda Tranquila - Community/Environmental/Social Project
We lived in a ranch called 'La Hacienda Tranquila' - a socio-enviornmental sustainable and educational organization.
We collaborated in the reforestation and conservation of endemic plants and trees.
We contributed and learnt from organic farming, the cultivation and caring process of fresh vegetables and fruits, for local produce, to minimize mixed species through importation.
We worked with children with special needs through Hippotherapy, encouraging the childs physical and emotional expression.
Just a sample of my work. To see more or discuss possible work >>

I lived amongst the Tsachilas Tribe in the Santo Domingo Rainforest, aiding in the constructing of green houses for the production of vegetables for the purpose of feeding the locals in such isolated areas.
Everyday, as a team, we built from scratch green houses made mainly of sugar canes as the pillars.
We would also fill small plastic tubular-bags with compost for the plantation of the seeds.
We exchanged cultural customs and participated in the daily chores such as, fishing, cooking, sowing, jewelry-making. etc.​
