Voluntary Work
Education
Much of your time will be spent in the classroom helping and supporting the children in classes such as mathematics, physical education, handicraft, English and computing. You’ll be given a great deal of flexibility in deciding which area of the project you wish to work on, to ensure that your own individual skills are best put to use.
Health
Another area of the project involves looking after the health of the children and families, who receive help with dental care and are provided with vitamins and food. The children are given nutritious food and drinks, such as carrot juice, a banana, an orange or a ham sandwich as well as vitamin supplements, and each morning and afternoon brush their teeth under our guidance.
In addition, the project carries out social work with the families of the children and tries to create an awareness of how important education is for the youth of Guatemala.
