Hi there!

I will be in Mexico City in as little as two weeks, and would love to travel to volunteer with you for 6 to 8 weeks if that is convenient.

I have recently joined WWOOF Mexico and look forward to being able to support the work of organic farms such as yourselves.
I have little experience beyond my own small vegetable patch at home but I am very willing and keen to learn and certainly not afraid of hard work!
At the moment I am trying to pick up some Spanish and hope to improve it during my stay.
I would really appreciate it if you could get back to me as soon as you can so that I can confirm dates in the next week or so,

thank you ,

Sophie

Hola, su finca me parece perfecto- quiero WWOOF al fin de mayo para unos cuatro o seis semanas. Voy a terminar mis estudios a la universidad en mayo, y quiero aprender más sobre la agricultura orgánica. Viajo con una amiga, y buscamos un lugar donde podemos ver la conexión de la tierra, el espíritu, e el cuerpo. Espero que tenga trabajo para nosotros, espero su respuesta. ¡Gracias, y paz!

Hola!

I am interrested in working on your farm for about 10 weeks, starting from the beginning of july.
I need an internship as I am studiing Environmental ressource management.
Your farm sounds to be a good place to do my internship, where I can take on responsibility and fullfill the requirements for university!
I love nature and everything connected with farming. My intend is to learn as much as possible about permaculture, be productive and do all this with people, who got the same interrests.

Looking forward for your reply!

Greetings,
My name is Jackie Robson and my husband is Bill.
We would like to volunteer as WWOOFERS during the months of January through March 2010.
Our background information;
We live in Victoria, BC, Canada. While at home, Bill works as a Realtor and I'm a Horticulturist\Community Garden organizer. We're both very active volunteers – Bill is on the board of a community development organization called Innovative Communities.org. I work and volunteer in several community garden projects in town. We're very interested in alternative building and energy systems, co-housing, organic gardening and most recently, raising urban chickens.
We've spent 3 winters, working as WWOOFERS in Costa Rica, traveling to several other central american countries, learning Spanish.
We kept returning to the farm in Costa Rica,(The Ark) having become friends with the owners. It has been difficult reaching Tommy since his wife Pat has died so we don't know if we can provide a reference there.
We spent another 2 winters in Guatemala living/volunteering/studying/making rich friendships with the spanish speaking Mayans. We could provide a reference from the Spanish school that we volunteered for in San Pedro. Contact Javier at javier.navichoc@gmail.com

We both love to work, gardening, painting, animal caretaking, you name it, while maintaining a balance between work and play. Looking forward to another warm Mexican winter and using our rather rusty Spanish again.

Hi Armando and Anya,

I am an organic farmer in Massachusetts and will be traveling in Mexico for the month of January. I would love to come wwoof at your farm and help in any way. I have experience growing veggies and fruit, so it would be great to help you with gardening, planting, etc. I also speak Spanish and love to cook. Please let me know if you need help in January.

Gracias,
Ellie

Hi! I'm Laura and I'm about to travel with a friend from Canada to Mexico about the end of march. We probably be around Mexico city in the begenning of february. I don't have experience in WWOOFing but i'm pretty interested! My friend has experience WWOOFing in Canada and she studied in horticulture. Our first langage is french, we also speak english and we don't speak spanish at all! By experience, I know that it is more effective to learn a language while you're working! Let me know if you need some help!

Hola!

My name is Sarah and I am traveling with 4 others by bicycle down the Pacific Coast of Mexico. We would love to stay and work with you if you have room for wwoofers in the month of February or late January, that is when we may arrive near Mexico city. We are also traveling with all our own equipment for accomodations and are working on our Spanish.

Gracias!

Sarah
