Volunteer Work In Guatemala with GVI

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 16:05:00 GMT

Producer: GVI

Volunteers who join this programme have the unique opportunity of being immersed in one of several indigenous communities situated near Antigua Guatemala. Surrounded by volcanoes and mountain lakes, this old Spanish Colonial town allows volunteers to learn or improve their Spanish, while travelling to nearby rural areas for their project work. GVI, along with leaders of the indigenous communities, have developed their own schools to assist children who otherwise would not have the opportunity of any formal education or who need educational reinforcement.
