AmeriSpan offers Volunteer placements in Guatemala

GUATEMALA is recognized as the cultural center of the pre-discovered New World. As the origin of the mysterious Mayan Civilization and still predominantly indigenous, the country offers some of the continent’s richest folklore. The cultural blend of the indigenous, Spanish and African peoples can be seen in many aspects of daily life. Ancient rituals are intertwined with Christianity. Moreover, there is an abundance of high quality, low-priced handmade goods.

Volunteers have the opportunity of experiencing this country of extremes from a very intimate point of view. Stepping outside the colonial fairy tale that is Antigua, you’ll meet locals and work with them side-by-side. Most placements in Guatemala are community service oriented; helping girls with their homework in an orphanage, play and sing with the toddlers at the community day care center, or giving math and English classes at a local primary school – you’ll be helping the many underprivileged of this beautiful country As these projects are local initiatives and run by the community itself, be prepared that only Spanish is spoken at these placements!
