Eco experience Uruguay - a project on sustainable living from Michelle Raymond

While in Buenos Aires, I studied at the TEFL English School with two wonderful teachers; Michelle and Brad (below) who moved to Argentina from South Africa. Since that time they have embarked on a new adventure together; they are creating a stunning sustainable community in the hills of Uruguay. Environmentally conscious living at its finest.

What is the use of a house if you don't have a decent planet to put it on? - Henry David Thoreau

At present they only have the land tucked in the hills of Uruguay. There are no buildings on it, so they have to start everything from the very beginning. Their plans are incredibly exciting and will provide a beautiful place for people to enjoy the divine scent of their lavender fields, learning to tend the land with opportunities to study English and do yoga while living sustainably. Such a wonderful beacon of light for people looking for a change or to learn new paradigms of sustainable living in this world.

In the meantime they need money to make this project really happen. They have some funds to start but to speed it along Brad and Michelle are putting a call out for donations and investment capital and obviously, I really would like to support them in anyway I can.

You can learn more about their project here on their blog and visit here to make a most worthy donation to their project.
If 100 people gave us either $5 or 5pounds, it would help their project tremendously.
