Great family experience

Family of 3, with Spanish levels varying from beginner to conversational, enjoyed our week of volunteering in Antigua. We signed up for construction work as it seemed to have lower needs for communicating in Spanish. Still, we found that the work challenged and nurtured our language development through interaction with our terrific project leader. We were happy to contribute to the construction project at a local animal sanctuary.

Even more memorable were the meals and discussions we shared with our host family, who were very welcoming and eager to share in our experiences. Interaction with them was an invaluable immersion experience. Meals were terrific and introduced us to a few new things. Accommodations were comfortable.

Throughout the week, we enjoyed exploring Antigua, a small, charming and very walkable city with picture-worthy sights aims every corner.
