The community of Uchanchi is part of the 34 rural communities of the parish of San Andrés, located northeast of the Guano canton, in the province of Chimborazo. It has legal personality according to records of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Aquaculture and Fisheries (MAGAP) with Ministerial Agreement 140 dated February 8, 1938; its around 940 inhabitants are mostly mestizo and the average annual temperature is 11.19 °C. It is made up of 4 neighborhoods: La Merced, La Libertad, El Mirador and the Central Neighborhood.
Among the economic activities of the community, the exploitation of minor species such as guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens and pigs stands out, as well as the cultivation of corn, peas, beans, quinoa and. The joint aspiration is to create a sustainable environment where there is efficient management of resources, especially water, since it is one of the most scarce.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
