Guatemala

Guatemala is a country steeped in history and traditions. Once the centre of the great Maya civilisation, it contains a wealth of archaeological treasures including the impressive pyramids dotted around the countryside. The Mayan people still make up a large proportion of the population, and are famous for their exotic clothing and traditional music and dance.

Guatemala is also a country struggling to overcome vast social problems. The majority of its inhabitants live in poverty, and the indigenous population in particular has long suffered from political oppression.

Volunteers can contribute their time and energy to inspirational local projects in Guatemala, while gaining a real understanding of the country and its culture. The programme includes one to one Spanish lessons and accommodation with a host family.
