Hola!
Yo soy una estudiante de Canada y ahorita estoy estudiando a la Universidad de Guadalajara. Ahora, estoy aprendiendo español pero puedo comunicar mas o menos bien.
El año pasado fui a un campo organico en Florida y vivió (un voluntario) ahí por dos meses. Quiero venir a su campo organico por algo fines de semanas porque extraño la vida sencilla mucho y quiero trabajar con el planeta otra vez. Tengo un celular de Guadalajara y mi numero es 3311088995. Mi correo es bklapwyk@uoguelph.ca. Tengo muchos preguntas sobre tu campo y espero oír desde tú pronto!
Paz
Bethany

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!

Hi, my name is Antoine, I’m coming with a friend ( Maxime L’Heureux ) from Montreal by bus on the first week of April. We still don't know if we are arriving at Puebla or at Guadalajara. We want to know where we could work and make ourselves useful. Your farm is really interesting, it would be our first step in this long trip in Central America, and we'd really appreciate if you had room for us. I have no real experience in a farm, but I know a little about gardening. I love to learn new things, meet new faces and work hard. I’m a photographer, I love to take pictures and show what I see and how I see it, but the thing I love the most is to travel, meet new peoples, help where I can and see the world. I speak French, English and I know the basis of Spanish.
We would be able to stay as long as you need us.
Thank you, Antoine

Hi teher,
I am on a farm in San Miguel De Allende at the moment, could I come to you in the first week of April? I am planning to spend a couple of days in Gunuajato around the 26th, and plan to go South at the end of April so it would be great if I could first come over to Guadalajara and help wherever I can!
thanks
Sophie

Hola,
Me llamo Diana y soy de Nuevo Mexico aunque estudio por ahora en Nueva York. Quisiera ir a Mexico por el mes de agosto y trabajar con ustedes. Planeo llegar allí el primer y devolver el 30 o 31.
Estoy tratando de aprender español y por eso tengo que preguntarles, ¿que lengua usan en su finca? Me gustaría estar absorto en el español y no tener la opción hablar en inglés. ¿Es una posibilidad con ustedes?
He trabajado en una granja hace tres años por dos semanas pero mi conocimiento de cultivar es muy limitado. Tengo poco experiencia con irrigación y cuidado de tomates pero eso es todo. Estoy entusiasmado aprender más y ayudarles en cualquier manera que puedo.
Saludos,
Diana

Hola otra vez,
Todavía estoy interesada en venir a su granja si es posible. Me gustaría mucho trabajar con ustedes pero necesito hacer planes y comprar pasajes de avión. Por eso agradecería recibir una respuesta corta para informarme si hay espacio y necesidad para una WWOOFer en el mes agosto.
La cosa es que necesito saber que voy a hacer en el fin del verano para que puedo conseguir un trabajo remunerado en Albuquerque donde vivo para los meses de junio y julio. Hay que ganar dinero durante el verano para las clases de la universidad y es importante saber cuando y a donde voy a ir para que encontraré algo apropiado.
Muchas Gracias,
Diana

Muy Levi Rios,
Estoy escribiendo para aprender si necesita Ud. voluntarios del 30.11.2009 a 22.12.2009. Después de leyendo su WWOOF anuncio y repasando su sitio web, estoy entusiasmado con Teopantli Kalpulli y ayudando en su granja. Estoy especialmente interesado en aprender más sobre agricultura biodynamic. Tengo años de experiencia en jardínes sostenibles en los Estados Unidos, pero quería aprender sobre sus prácticas en Jalisco. En su tiempo libre, digame si puedo ayudarles, por favor.
He incluido un versión íngles abajo – mi español probablemente tiene errores.
I am writing to learn if you need volunteers from November 30th through December 22nd. After reading your WWOOF entry and reviewing your webiste, I would be thrilled to visit Teopantli Kalpulli and help out. I am especially interested in learning more about biodynamic farming. I have years of experience volunteering at sustainable gardens here in the states, but I want to learn about your practices in Jalisco. At your convenience, please let me know if I can come help out November 30th through December 22nd.
Cheers,
Chris
