Hola,
My name is Andrew Fontana and I am looking for a farm to volunteer starting the end of March. I am a 22 year old American with a B.A. in Environmental Studies. Much of my studies focused on the alternative Agriculture as a concept and I also worked as an intern on a farm for 2 1/2 months as part of my program. I recognize the importance of being a part of the processes that make life possible. I think that participating in farming is mutually beneficial relationship for me and the planet. I am flexible, hard working, and am committed to the mission of living organically. I have been traveling for 2 months in Central America already, improving my Spanish. I would be interested in staying a month or more. Please let me know if you could use my help and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!
Andrew Fontana

Hello,
I am a United States Peace Corps volunteer and have been living in Moldova, Eastern Europe for the past 2 years and will be finishing my service this summer. I am 26 year old male, very healthy, and I am from South Carolina, USA. I grew up on a cattle farm, so I appreciate working on the farm. I have a bachelor's degree in Accounting from the University of South Carolina and have 3 years work experience at an accounting firm.
I would like to WWOOF in Mexico for 3 months from August 15 - November 15, 2011. If you would be willing to host me during this time, please send me more info about farm. I am currently studying Spanish and should be able to communicate on a basic level when I arrive, but I am fast learner with language, so I don't think that language will be a problem.Thank you!

Hola!
Somos dos mujeres de Noruega. Llamamos Jeanette y Marthe. Tenemos 23 y 24 años. Somos asistentes social. Trabajamos en Bergen, Nourega, pero vamos a viajar a Cuba y Mexico 1 de marzo. Vamos a estar en Cuba una mes y en Mexico tres meses. Queremos trabjar en su finca. Preferimos tres semanas, 1 de abril hasta 20 de abril, pero si ustedes no les viene bien etstas semanas, puedemos trabajar otras semanas en mayo. Amamos estar fuera en la naturaleza. Nos gusta aprender costumbres nuevos y conocer a personas de otros paises. Somos alegras y sonreír mucho.
As you can see we know some spanish, but are still in the learning process. We are both members of WWOOF Mexico.
We care a lot about the environment, and are so happy we found WWOOF Mexico! This would be a great experience to bring back home. It sounds so cool to build our own cabin and be able to grow our own food! From your presentation your farm looks like a perfect match for us. We can both contribute with hard work, laughter, and lots of fun.
We hope to get the chance to work on your farm, and appreciate if you answer us before we leave for Cuba. Thanks!
Abrazos y besos
Marthe y Jeanette

Sounds great.
I'd like to come at the end of March and stay for a while.
Here's what I want out of the experience:
-the unexpected
-to practice Spanish and permaculture.
-to work hard every day contributing to the living of a group
-to share ideas
-to step outside the money system
Mainly I've farmed in the Northeast United States, so I'd have a lot to learn in your climate! But then again, I'm ready to work hard. I'll bring my guitar and a tape recorder to record music and possibly interview folks. Also, does anyone like hacky-sack?
Best,
Luke

Hi there!
I'm from the U.S., with a BA in Journalism, and just recently moved to Chiapa de Corzo for a TEFL certificate. I'm hoping to do volunteer work, because now that I'm in Mexico, I'm really hoping to be involved with its natural wonders.
I'd like to learn more about gardening, I've done community gardening projects, as well as farming and volunteering in my community. I know basic Spanish, and would like to practice and learn more.
Do you have any room for volunteers for March 7th? I'd like to stay and help for a month or even two, depending. Please let me know!
Muchas Gracias!Stephanie

Hello,
I will be in your area around the beginning of May and I'm wondering if you have space for me to volunteer? My name is Katie, I am twenty five and I'm very interested in learning about sustainable agriculture.
I currently volunteer once a week at an urban farm in the states and I
plan to return to university on the fall to study environmental
studies. I am a hard worker and very enthusiastic. Tambien hablo
espanol mas o menos bien. Please let me know if you can host me. I can
commit two or three weeks. Si prefieras puedo escribirles en espanol. My email is katie.nauth@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!Sinceramente, Katie

Hola Federico!
Mi nombre es Judith y me encantaría vivir la experiencia de estar al menos una semana en tu granja. La verdad aún no tengo experiencia en permacultura pero si muchos deseos de aprender y un par de manos y piernas que me ayudarán. Para cuando vaya a tu granja (si es que me aceptas) espero tener alguna ya que habré estado en 2 granjas.
Por cierto, tu granja es hermana de la que está en Palizada? La fecha en que me gustaría visitarlos es a finales de abril.
Bueno, espero tu respuesta.
Muchos saludos y que siga la cosecha!

Estimada señorita, estimado señor,
Tenemos información del sitio que nos interesó en particular:
Somos dos franceses, ingenieros en Agronomía Tropical, acabando nuestra tesis. Estamos viajando en México por 2 o 3 meses hasta América del Sur y pasemos 4 meses en California. Este viajo es para entender mas las problemáticas ambientales y sociales de la situación en su país, así que tener mas practicas como talleres concretas relacionados a una visión social y sustentable de la tierra. Es por eso que estamos buscando trabajo, descubrir y aprender otra maniera de vivir gracias a Wwoofing y con otros tipos de organizaciones.
Para conocernos:
Entonces estamos enfocados en temas como las reformas agrarias del país, la situación de los pequeños productores, las problemáticas de la tierra (erosión, fertilidad), el acceso a los servicios del Estado (títulos de propiedad, acceso al agua, a los créditos, etc.). Estamos interesados en trabajar y dar nuestro tiempo a ustedes para aprender más lo que es la agricultura orgánica, sustentable, y alternativas de todas las maneras (biodinámica, permacultura, abono orgánico, vermífuga, etc.). También crear talleres en grupo que sensibilicen al manteniendo sustentable, trabajar en una finca orgánica, educador en eco-aldeas, así que con comunidades, asociaciones, cooperativas.
Lo que están haciendo nos interesa mucho, parece que comparten las mismas ideas que nosotros: luchar por una visión alternativa de la agricultura convencional, sensibilizar a la gente en una forma más limpia de la tierra con respecto a los humanos y asuntos ambientales. Esas son cosas importantes para nosotros que requieren tiempo y energía diaria. Reunir a la gente para volverse más fuerte, tener un mejor acceso a los productos para permitir una mejor autonomía; siguiendo una visión de desarrollo que compartimos. Lo que debería ser un ejemplo de un buen vivir para todos.
Será un placer encontrarlos, conversar de estos temas y trabajar un tiempo juntos si es posible, para así conocer y compartir nuestras experiencias y conocimientos de la vida. Este es un correo para empezar a tener contacto con ustedes: También para saber si podrán recibirnos para una posible colaboración. Así también si tienen contactos, amigos suyos, o cualquier otra ayuda que nos permitan realizar nuestro proyecto en su país, eso sería realmente perfecto y amable de su parte.
Cualquier pregunta, será con gusto respondida. We have a good level in English also because of last 4 months in California.
Hasta pronto, esperamos.
Por una obra social, una lucha humana, un respeto de la tierra, muchas gracias por lo que hacen.
Romain Javaux & Yohann Aiglehoux.

Hello,
I hope all is going well at your farm. My sister and I are very interested in volunteering with you. The description of your farm really jumped out at us when we were looking at the list on WWOOF Mexico.
I am a teacher and my sister is a nutritionist. We both have volunteer experience including working on a biodiversity farm in northern India, a sustainable ranch in Costa Rica, and Habitat for Humanity. We have attached our volunteer resumes for you to check out. We love harvesting, composting, cooking, yoga, nature, being active, new people and new experiences.
We plan to be in Central America during July and August, and our dates are flexible. We would like to visit you in mid-July. Do you have availability for us to stay during this time?
Thanks and we are looking forward to hearing from you.
Safe journeys,
Carly and Crysta Caprio
