La Tribu Ajena
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Tribu Ajena is a life project in Permaculture located in the Vega del Guadalquivir, few kilometres awys from Seville, in the process of transforming a small orange grove into an organic farm where we live several people and some animals. They have an orchard for our own consumption, are creating a food forest, a pond for aquatic fauna and flora, hives and other resources, such as those related to the use of solar energy (kitchen and solar oven, dryer, etc...), the integral cycle of water or food preparation. The aim is to create a greener and happier World! Tribu Ajena is a farm that belongs to the WWOOF network
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will help the host to prepare the construction of a bioclimatic building, passive and with bioconstruction techniques with earth (adobe and wood). Mainly volunteers will help in the manufacture of adobes, which will be made with the support and under the instructions of architects specialized in bioconstruction with earth (http://www.taphtaph.org/). There will be other tasks to do with the orchard, with the management of the forest, the creation of the pond and many other things... there's a lot of work on a farm.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will sleep in tents (individuals or double) in a large camping area with plenty of shade. Still there is an indoor shower (hot water) and an outdoor shower (we call it a paradise shower), two dry bathrooms (the ecological toilet), a large swimming pool, outdoor and indoor kitchen, hammocks, washing machine... We don't have a TV, but we have wifi acces :)
Volunteers will cook for themselves together with the host, mainly usinng organic food grown on their farm. Vegetarianism is not a must, but we expect volunteers to follow a vegetarian/vegan diet during the project. In any case flexibility is a must and everyone is welcome.
