hello,
I hope you are fine 🙂

I am master student, who is about to graduate. I am writing my thesis and it is about co-housing projects. For my research I found your co-housing community so nice . So I wanted to ask if is it possible to interview some of the residents from village co housing. If you can help me for my thesis I would be so appreciated.

I am sending my interview questions if some of the residents want to answer them.

Thank you in advance,
Have a nice day!
