I volunteered with an organisation which helps improve the lives of impoverished children. I helped in the every day-to-day office work, finding donations and in the afternoons we got to play with the children. It's a great opportunity to get immersed in the culture and learn Spanish. I'd definitely recommend it to a friend.

I had the pleasure of taking part in a volunteer program at a NGO where we worked on strategies to improve the municipal policy on HIV prevention. I loved the experience so much as well as Guatemala, that I decided to stay, and I'm still here now. I'll be moving to the capital where I recently got a job.

I volunteered in women's led non-profit organisation which provided medical advice, dental care and nutritional education to indigenous communities. I've been into local schools to provide free hearing tests, and worked in the nutritional clinic. I've had an absolutely fantastic time working with this organisation.
