What we do

Although Zambia is endowed with vast natural resources such as abundant water bodies, a variety of minerals, fertile soils and fair weather conditions; a number of people, particularly those in rural areas, continue to go on empty stomachs day in, day out. Worse still, life debilitating diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria seem to continue thriving on their poverty situation. This prompted us to rise up and awaken the local people to the reality that there is actually so much wealth around them and all they needed to do is to lock their hands in unity and use their God given natural resources to improve their social and economic wellbeing in a more sustainable way. Ideally our aim is to bring individuals from from different backgrounds who may possess different skills and talents to motivate local people to not only unlock their potential, but that of the environment in which they live to adequately address poverty as opposed to always waiting for aid to trickle in from outside. As we strive to achieve this goal, our members and volunteers shall enjoy life at our ecovillage in harmony with themselves, those around them and indeed mother nature as they endeavor to grow and eat healthy food, using renewable energy resources, recycling, gifting, sharing and reaching out to their neighbours.

BioconstrucciĂłn de TALLER con carpinterĂ­a de armar

La Escuela de BioconstrucciĂłn Los Guindales propone un aprendizaje practico de bioconstrucciĂłn durante todo el año, en la finca de la ecoaldea Los Guindales (AlgatocĂ­n – Málaga). Para mejorar las instalaciones del proyecto, vamos a construir un taller de carpinterĂ­a. Durante el mes de agosto, lanzamos un llamamiento excepcional para poder avanzar la armadura con madera redonda. Se van a cuadrar troncos, a trazar en el suelo las varias piezas para luego trazar en las piezas mismas las cotas importantes, a cortar las piezas haciĂ©ndoles encajes tradicionales, a montar y a levantar los cinco pĂłrticos previstos. Vamos a seguir la misma organizaciĂłn grupal que solemos tener ; hacemos turnos diarios de cocina, trabajamos de las 8h a las 10h, desayunamos hasta las 11h, y seguimos luego hasta el almuerzo a las 14h. Por la tarde seguiremos trabajando unas dos horas. Paralelamente, estamos cuidando una huerta y tres cabras. Para mas info sobre nuestra rutina y condiciones os dejo el enlace a seguir. https://escueladebioconstruccionlosguindales.wordpress.com/formacion/ AquĂ­ somos un equipo fijo de cuatro personas llevando la escuela. Siembre habrán un mĂ­nimo de dos personas con experiencia para llevar el taller del mes de agosto. TenĂ©is a disposiciĂłn un terreno grande para poner tiendas de campana, tambiĂ©n hay una yurta segĂşn las disponibilidades. Pedimos una aportaciĂłn de 120 euros para el mes entero o 70 euros para dos semanas para cubrir los gastos de comida. Caso tengan cualquier duda, no hesiten en hacĂ©rnosla saber. Pueden contactarnos a travĂ©s de: bi*************************@***il.com
