Highlights
In this project, you can work from Monday to Friday 8 am till 5 pm but they prefer afternoons, so it's perfect to combine your volunteering with Spanish lessons in the mornings, which is a nice way to improve your Spanish but also learn about the Guatemalan cultureQualifications
A beginner Spanish level is helpful (enough to understand the instructions).To improve your Spanish, we suggest online language lessons with a private Guatemalan teacher.
