Our farm is situated in a rural area close to Obera, Misiones and has a forest reserve bordering two beautiful streams and waterfalls. Right now, we have a small house and 2 horses, and soon we hope to incorporate chickens, pigs and buffalo. As we are just starting, we would like help with many different jobs, both around the farm and in the house. Our plan for the next few months is to build sheds and barns, prepare water systems, install fencing, make dry composting toilets, plant a vegetable garden, develop an agro-forestry system inside an area of pines already on the farm, and install a cropping system for fruit trees, shrubs and flowers. Accomodation: We can accommodate a maximum of 2 volunteers. For now, we can only offer space to camp, but in the future we want to have a house for people who come here to help us. (We would like to build a green home with mud and wood.) In the main house, there is a bathroom with hot water, land phone to receive calls from abroad and Internet access. Food: We will cook and eat together; at first ingredients will come from local markets, and as we produce more we should use what becomes available from our gardens. We are: Reto (Swiss) an organic farmer by profession and Javiera, a biologist. Our children are both under 3 years old. We have worked several years with human rights issues and ecology together with farmers organizations in Latin America and Europe. We have several publications. We have recently moved into this region and our intention is to participate in local networks right from the start. When to come: We accept volunteers all year but with a minimum stay of 2 months.

ARG161 City: TIGRE Province: Buenos Aires Type of property: Quinta isle Size (ha): 8 Crops: Poplar, willow, Citrus, Junco, Huerta, Girgolas We speak: Spanish Description: The farm principal activity is to provide tourist services. Formerly (1900/1950) was an area with production of fruit trees, vegetables, poplar, reed, bamboo, wicker and flower. We would like to recover part of the production and complement the tourism industry. We would also like to restore native plants in the region. FACILITIES: Low season, for 6 months I have a free cabin with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with hot showers and firewood to receive volunteers. Key requirement: a deep love of nature.

Additional comments: A little about the ParanDelta- it is caused by deposition of sediments rich in organic matter, which come from the Andes Mountains in northwestern Argentina. The Rio Bermejo and Pilcomayo River sediment discharge their wastewater into the Rio Paraguay and Rio Parana. It runs approx. 1000 km before emptying into the R de la Plata placed there about 200 million tons of sediment

29/03/12 1:59 PM

the R de la Plata placed there about 200 million tons of sediment annually. This phenomenon occurs due to the tidal River Plate maritime influenced by tides that are produced regularly by the influence of the moon and remarkably by the action of winds blowing mainly when the Southeast retaining the waters descend the Parana River and thereby causing the accumulation of sediments that give rise wings of the Delta islands. This causes a "breakthrough" of the Delta on the Rio de la Plata from 70 to 90 meters per year. Children: it is possible. Please let us know in advance.
