Sorry for the late reply as we have been taking care of other business for the past few weeks. Thanks for volunteering to help. We don't know at this time if we will have a project at that time but we are making plans for a compost operation that will help local people grow better vegetables and get better prices at market. If that works out we could possible need you. Please get back to us in a few months.

Regards,
Steve and Regina

Thanks again for offering to help. Rancho Jixhil is not exactly sustainable either in the sense of having everything functioning - it's a couple steps forward and then backward again. For example, nothing became of the compost project. However, I do have a promise from a friend of about 4000 coffee plants and we will need to prepare to the holes for them in advance. That alone could keep you busy. And there is the possibility of more fun projects. let me know what you think.

Regards,

Steve Pike
