Volunteering
Thailand
I have spent the last year and a half living as part of the Panya project community, volunteering in exchange of food, accommodation and learn permaculture.
I was able to attend various courses subsidized by volunteers, such as my PDC, NVC, PIP, and others who have enriched my permaculture profile. I made and realized courses as PIP, Introduction to Permaculture, Introduction to Bamboo and many other daily workshops related to PC. |
U.S.A.
Working as a volunteer for a personal projects especially in California, in exchange for food, lodging, and expenses.
I have conducted little workshops as how to create contour gardens, organic agriculture, food forest, and composting methods. Also I had give advice for natural building and I made my first steps as a consultant. I have also participated in a yurt and a lamas fence construction. |
Having volunteers
In our project in Spain we harbour volunteers to help in labour, saving in to have to sped time and money to hire other people. In return we offer learning and experiencing the world of permaculture and provide them with food and stay with us with no economic cost.
In the images below you can see some of the volunteers who have helped us in achieving our project in Spain.

Working
Thailand
The Panya system is designed as the long-term volunteers can and should offer courses, and benefits are distributed throughout the community.
To have a sustainable economic system is one of the main reasons, to be able to finance the long term volunteers expenses like visas, flights and other personal, so volunteers can stay indefinitely and the community does not have to break for personal financial needs. I have been rewarded financially for the creation or participating in courses as:

Scotland
Work in the Edinburgh xmas marked had given to me the enough money to cover my trip expenses as fly, food and personal.
This work led me to be able to celebrate Christmas with my partner's family there, and know more about her and her son roots.

Spain
In Catalonia (Spain) I have imparted several courses on permaculture in exchange for donation, which helped me pay some of my expenses in life, you can see pictures above.
Also with my partner we are running the creation of a educational PC center with many ways that help us to finance it. You can read more (here).
Maintenance
I think that my life is going to be always a juggling with finances, lately I have had many changes in my life, traveling all over for a long time has led me to have to adjust and regenerate to new ways to finance.
In the last change in my life (now) I'm intending to find stability, without extra cost for me and the environment from radical changes, as be travelling constantly.
I think that I'm a person who has not had a strong interest in business, and if I want to have enough economy to continue not worried about money, I have to strengthen the way to get it without having any conflict.
Now we have found a land at no money cost, is a virgin land where I can develop our family permaculture project, where we can offer workshops and courses that multifunctionally meet the needs of students, mine and build of the site. Into the area where I will live, is a cooperative which I can exploit the olive trees of the property, and there is a nearby city where I can sell or trade crafts and food.
As I'm teaching courses this ones are becoming more professional, and I hope someday to have enough confidence to teach PDC, which can make a big difference financially.
Keep update the Nomadic Permaculture web page is crucial to continue giving to know us and be able to promote our courses and events, also this way I get more and more people who are interested in volunteering in our project, or maybe in a future give us donations to grow our permaculture center.
Repression by society sometimes makes us see the world very limited, bringing little hope and fears to create new ways to fund our dreams.
I think that I need to keep responding creatively, to perform and adapt to new changes, improve my life quality and make me feel proud of myself.
