Global Crossroad Review on Guatemala Program

Everyone here in Guatemala is amazing. Mano and Oscar are truly passionate in helping students learn Spanish and ensuring that each volunteer fulfills meaningful volunteer work.

The school I taught at is truly blessed in having such eager students and great leaders. I felt that my students learn and had found interest for math.

My host family the Rodriguez is so loving and kind. Their children and zydia, house keeper really contributed to the experience.

If I wasn’t limited by time I would definitely request to extend my stay here with Global Crossroad

This volunteer project was the first one for me and it was a great experience. The orphanage was fun and helped me very much with my Spanish. The kids are very nice and welcoming. Spanish lessons really helped, and were very interesting. My family was amazing; they were caring and always there for me. The food was amazing. My host mom is an amazing cook. I will definitely do another volunteer Project very soon.

Volunteer Guatemala

This is the first time I have volunteered or stayed with a host family although I have travelled extensively for over 20 years. I enjoyed it immensely. My first family were wonderful, very generous & welcoming. My Spanish improved mainly because it had to both my host family & Spanish school teachers were very helpful. A lot of the other students complained about the lack of variety in the food but I have enjoyed eating typical Guatemalan food.

The orphanage was a wonderful experience, although we weren’t really informed how we could best be assistance to them. It was a bit of trial & error. The children were wonderful & very quickly attach themselves to the volunteers. It will be hard to say goodbye. The Spanish school was great. First time I have ever started Spanish or any other language so although I found some of the concepts difficult. I have enjoyed it and definitely know a lot more than when I arrived. The teacher is very good at making us speak the language & utilize the words we know. Staff very accommodating & helpful answering heaps of questions.

Will definitely volunteer again on my next travels.

Thanks for a great experience Global Crossroad.
