Welcome to the website of the first and only WWOOFing organic farm and educational center in El Salvador!

Our bubble is surrounded by rivers, mountains, lakes, and volcanoes.

Historical background
In 2005, we decided to bring something new and alternative to the new generations. Having had the chance to travel outside of El Salvador, we saw what exist and is happening outside of our borders. Unfortunately, El Salvador do not promote conscious agriculture, has little educational opportunities and often a very closed mind about future possibilities for the big majority. Kids are drawn to the street and end up struggling with themselves, lacking of support, inspiration and love.
To understand the conditions in which we are living in and the work we are doing, it is important to realize what is really Life here, in the countryside of El Salvador.
Our mission - Teaching and Empowering
- Permaculture and recycling
We share the wonders of organic farming and sustainable lifestyle.Our organic country house (Quinta ecologica) empowers the kids to create environmental solutions in construction, utilizing recycled and organic materials (old tires, trash bottles, rocks, old wood, bamboo, etc.) We are working with the community to promote responsible land and resource management through environmental education. Projects are always on the move.
- Education
We teaching them English and computer skills. We also have a collection of videos and documentaries available. Together we discusse different life subject and exchange ideas to bring the kids new perspectives and conceptions of the World as it could be and at the same time to accept it.
- Activities
As much as we can, we offer them new life experiences: rock climbing lessons, biking trips, yoga classes, cooking for fun, theatre and concerts. We go to the beach, camping or swimming. They need to see that there is a whole world outside.
Our Challenges
We want to have more regular students investing themsleves in the long term so that we could in return help them to carry on a better future. We want to being acknowledged by the local families as a serious source of support, education and inspiration for the children.
Our Tools
We experience a constant flow of helpers bringing us ideas and inspirations. They are our window of the outside world, sharing their life, bringing their stories to us. Every one of them has a skill to share, knowledge to give and help us around Education and Permaculture at the center.
Our Goal
Having the old generation of students ready to take over the school, teaching and sharing all the knowledge they previously received to the new kids entering the program. Inspiring and acting as model for the local kids, they could altogether start to grow out the project on their own -Teaching and empowering them-
