16. The Work
Among the activities that I’ve developed: Community
breakfast and lunch, maintenance of agroforestry
systems and bioconstruction.
I’ve worked from 8am to 11am and from 2pm to 5pm.
19. The Food
What made me most happy to have done this
volunteering was to learn so much about food. I’m
vegan and I’ve learned beyond all vegan foods that I’ve
ever tasted until this experience. I realized that cooked
food is an addiction in our culture.
An amazing thing was the breakfast, that was just a
juice called chlorophyll juice that gave me all the
energy.
