Fellow Wwoofer! Whats the place you are building bicycle powered machines at? I am very interested. I just road my bike from NC to Monterey! I have heard of another place they do that in Oaxaca, but have not visited.
Take care, and good luck!

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. Can you check with us later?.

Regards,
Steve and Regina

wow small world...I was just given your contact info by a lovely trent student Andrea Griffith I met in Ecuador...I haven,t had a crazy amount of woofing experience here in Mexico as many farms seem to not respond...not need much help or are just too disorganized... I did go to Finca Argovia which was a very good experience...with many open opportunities abound...but it is a coffee plantation and does not have a big organic garden...still very fun during coffee season. But I am about to head up to Guadalajara for a another WWOOF project with alternative building and other stuff...If you are travelling far which it sounds like you are...you can also check out http://free-wwoof.info/
It has farms all over the world and you dont have to pay a cent...but just be very wary of some of the info...as it may be not much updated...ask many questions before trekking too far for one place.

Any other questions feel free?
Where are you these days anyway and what part of Canada are you from?

Lilith told me that you might be interested in coming to Quintana Roo. Just to let you know that you are both most welcome you just need to define dates and exact location since we have two posibilities one in holbox island and the other in a small mayan comunity. Regarding to the bicyle power ther is a guy in San Cristobal de Las casa Chiapas that has a lot of appliance working with bicking power you may want to have a look before coming. an easy application is to conect a byke to a standar rope pump.Hope you can pass and visit him before coming an then we can try to make some test here.

best.
