Getting involved can be a memorable vacation or a life-changing experience. Living
amid third-world poverty can profoundly alter the way you look at the world and your
own life. And you may want to get involved on a long term basis.

We have accommodations for short-term volunteer teams, both large and small. We
occasionally use long-term volunteers and individuals wanting to do an internship or
emersion.

Speaking Spanish is always an asset, but we can make alternative arrangements. The
local Mayan culture is very traditional, and we expect modest dress and conservative
behavior.

Los Robles: This is the old orphanage grounds, which is surrounded by an eight foot high cinder block wall. It is not a safety issue but a remanent of the orphanage. It consists of the third floor which has three large rooms with three or four bunk beds each. There is plenty of room and separate men’s and women’s bathrooms equipped with showers. 

Also, on the orphanage grounds is what we refer to as the volunteer house. It has four bedrooms, each with two bunk beds. And one smaller bedroom with a double bed. Again, there are separate bathrooms with showers.

There is a dining area and a laundry room and a bodega (warehouse) and office space.

Lomas is a gated community overlooking Lake Atitlan. Most houses are second homes for folks that live in Guatemala City. Mostly unoccupied except at Christmas and Semana Santa (Holy Week). Safe, Private with several miles of walking trails. Easy and relaxing.
