**PURAVIDAonline**

PURAVIDA are always looking for volunteers during the volunteer season, between December and April.Possibilities are endless for those ready to dig in and use their creativity; working on developing the permaculture gardens, helping the workers in the cacao field and learning how to swing a machete, helping build eco buildings and participating in the afternoon workshops for the community. Anyone is welcome, people with skills in permaculture, eco building and sustainability are especially needed.

You are welcome to come and just visit for a short stay if you just want to get a feel for barefooted living but if you want to come and help and learn then a minimum stay of two weeks would enable you to get really stuck in. We are also looking for volunteers for longer stays to help on longer projects and developments at the farm. There are endless possibilities at our beautiful farm and a lot of room for your own creativity and innovative capacity.

Please contact us for an update of the projects we are working on. Current longer term projects include a building project to expand the volunteer quarters  ( so that we can have more of you lovely people with us!).

There is a limited amount of rooms at the Fazenda, quite a few hammock spaces and plenty of space to camp around the farm. Kitchen is communal as is cooking and cleaning, food is simple and nutritious and includes lots of fruits and vegetables and fresh fish from the river. Water is collected in the fresh water spring and our shower is the big river in front which also provides a natural hydro massage in the waterfall. Living is basic but beautiful and  a small contribution is asked for to cover costs for food and accomodation. Our approach is very simple and we believe in things evolving organically and naturally and to try and foster a sense of family and community where everyone is welcome.

Please contact elin on elinlovisa@gmail.com for more details.

We look forward to hearing from you!!!
