Working in Duenas with children in school

Getting to volunteer in Guatemala was quite the experience and I would gladly do it again. Antigua is very safe as well. There were so many rumors that when I'd get there it would be highly unsafe, it was the complete opposite, and you'll need to remember, go there with an open mind and heart. The host family, or now my Guatemalan family, were the best host family that I've ever had from all the host families from international sporting championships. Working with kids in Duenas (which is a little bit outside of Antigua by the colorful and old school buses) was the best thing I could imagine myself doing over the 5 weeks that I was there; I fell in love with the kids that welcomed me with warm smiles and open hearts. If I have the opportunity to return to Antigua and work there again, I definitely will. I highly recommend Global Crossroads to help hearts around the world.
