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 taking classes, and we hope a month on Cuba will help improve our spanish.

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. The presentation of your farm looks very interesting, with education and architecture in addition to farming!

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

Preferimos alguien que tenga experiencia en cultivos organicos, pues no estoy toda la semana en la granja.

But if you want, you can come to Granja Tequio and help Don Adrian.

Also we have a project more in the forest, but with less failities:

I found your posting on the WWOOF Mexico Host Directory and want to indicate my interest in volunteering at your farm. From the description of the area you live in, and the types of activities and work involved, I feel that this opportunity most closely matches what I was looking for this summer.

My name is Roxanne Ravago, and I am 21 years old. I am in the third year of my Bachelor's degree, studying relaciones laborales, los derechos laborales, y economía laboral at Cornell University in New York. Currently, I am studying español, los derechos, y arte for the semester at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.

During my stay here in Barcelona, I live with a Spanish host family, who has made my transition abroad easier, welcoming me into their family and treating me like one of their own children. My host parents have two older daughters with families of their own but frequently visit on weekends to eat lunch and enjoy each others' company. This prior experience living with a host family in Spain will be beneficial for when I live with other hosts in the future, such as this volunteer opportunity with you. I have learned and always try to embrace and respect others' lifestyles, as well as share some of my own, while living with a host family because it will make the time more meaningful and worthwhile for everyone.

After my semester of study in Barcelona, I want to continue to pursue my passion for learning more about the Hispanic culture. I have already improved my Spanish since arriving in Barcelona, but I would like to become fluent. Other than Spanish, I also speak French and Tagalog (the Philippine language). I love to meet new people from all over the world and from all walks of life, so WWOOF is a perfect organization to connect people with common interests. I can learn and adapt quickly, work hard, and am very easy to get along with. I am flexible and open to trying and doing new things.

I hope to volunteer some time between early to mid-July until mid-August (1 month or more). This is my first time as a WWOOFer, but I have heard many great and positive comments about the organization and students who have participated in it in the past, saying they loved their experiences.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! I hope we can manage to work something out.

Yours truly,
Roxanne Ravago

Comment by Sukhcharan Kaur on March 23, 2011 at 11:03pm: Hola! Me llamo Maria, tengo 18 años.

Acabo de llegar de India y me interesa mucho poder trabajar en una granja organica, pues se lo importante que es la armonia entre el hombre y la naturaleza, asi como lo importante que es permanecer a lo natural y saludable. He estudiado yoga por año y medio en India, estoy por empezar mi carerra en ciencias ambientales y de la salud, y estoy llena de entusiasmo para poder ayudar en oportunidades como esta. No tengo mucha experiencia, pero si el deseo de hacer la tarea que se me de, siempre y cuando me impulse a aprender mas.

Espero poder ser de ayuda en esta granja. Estaria libre para ir desde mediados de abril hasta finales de mayo, cualquier fecha y por cuanto tiempo sea disponible.

Te agradeceria mucho una respuesta lo mas pronto posible.

Comment by jacob michael clutter on April 6, 2011 at 6:07pm: Hi there! My name is Jacob and my wife and I would love to come work on your farm. We are backpacking from Acapulco to Brazil and would like to WWOOF along the way. Your farm sounds amazing and we would be more than happy to stay for as long as possible. We should be in your area around late June to Mid July. We are now learning Spanish and hope to have a good grasp on the language by that time. Please contact us, when convenient, either on my WWOOF page or my email, which is jacobclutter@yahoo.com. Thank you so much and we look forward to hearing from you.

Comment by Federico Barcelo Aspeitia on April 6, 2011 at 11:07pm: You can come.

Just say when exactly, so I can arrnge with other people.

Comment by jacob michael clutter on April 7, 2011 at 11:26pm: Gracias por volver a escribir tan rápido. llegaremos en Acapulco el 23 de junio. Probablemente podemos estar en Puebla el 1 de julio. ¿Esto es bueno para usted? También nos gustaría saber cuánto nos podemos quedar para que podamos hacer planes para el futuro. Estamos muy emocionados y gracias de nuevo.

Comment by Jesse Campbell on April 8, 2011 at 10:42am: Hola, que tal.

My name is Jesse. I am a 29 year old male from Detroit and I was hoping that there might be an oppurtunity to help at your farm this May. I have Wwoofed all over the world including South America, speak some spanish, and can stay long-term or short-term.

Please let me know if this is an option.

--Jesse.

Podemos recibirte en mayo, aunque posiblemente tengamos un evento.

Dime la fecha exacta o aproximada para poder agendar y ponernos de acuerdo.

Y cuanto tiempo quieres estar con nosotros. Ahora tenemos espacio.
