Volunteers will also develop other tasks such as preparation of the soil, weeding, sowing, making compost and visiting cultivated areas in order to cooperate with the local community peasants.
There will also be cultural, educational and leisure activities with the children and youngsters of the community and the group Tinku Tours Alternativo in the area of Cochabamba.

At the headquarters of Sindicato Agrario Campesino Potreto, Quillacollo and at Centro Cultural Sumaj.
Location:
The project is situated at the foot of the mountain on a mild valley, one hour away from the city of Cochabamba.
