This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with Global Crossroad for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.

Working in Duenas with children in school

Aug 3, 2019

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.

What was your funniest moment?
I had many funny moments when I got to work and help in Antigua, Guatemala but I think the funniest moment must have been during dinner. I was sitting at dinner with the coordinator called Jonathan and other volunteers, we were finished with the amazing dinner we got homemade and we're telling stories from back home and coming up with inside jokes we remembered even until now.

Antigua was the capital of Guatemala prior to a major earthquake that left most of the city in ruins. Guatemala city then became the capital, and Antigua city returned into a small town until the whole city was deemed a UNESCO world heritage site. Attractions include monuments and buildings, as they preserve Guatemala's historical beauty and showcase the Spanish influence in the area.
