About Program

Join us in Mexico to help rebuild schools for disaster-impacted communities!

All Hands and Hearts (AHAH) provides community-inspired, volunteer-powered disaster relief. In nearly 20 years, we have mobilized 66K volunteers to over 160 programs, impacting 1.3M lives.

The program will take place in San Bartolo Teontepec, a city surrounded by mountains and filled with a lively community. In 2017, two major earthquakes heavily impacted San Bartolo and the rest of the country, damaging schools, buildings and homes. To this day, the people of San Bartolo are still picking up the pieces from this devastating event. In July, AHAH aims to rebuild two schools for the community.

Volunteer work varies depending on the stage of construction, but you could be lifting heavy materials, painting or helping to coordinate community events. Volunteers will receive free accommodation and three meals a day on working days.

Apply to volunteer and join us between July 23 and December 1, 2024!

This program helped me to discover myself. I’m not gonna lie, work is hard. But all together, we are doing such great things. The feeling of being part of a team helping others is the best feeling I ever had to feel. I met amazing humans, from all over the world, but here for the same reason.
I learned how to make concrete, I taught English in a school from the city we were in, helped for a cooking class to the population… this program is very complete and you will go back home being a new human who will wait to join the next program.
Thank you All hands and Hearts, and see you very soon.

What was your funniest moment?

During one of our Sunday off, a small team decided to go to Tlatchichuca market. Once there, we could eat good things, I discovered Horchata that is now one of my favorite drinks. After few hours we decided to go back to base. We took the bus, but after 30 minutes riding we realized it was the wrong one. It was raining dogs and cats, and we had to go back to the market to take another bus to go back to base. It took us 3 hours instead of 30 minutes. But I’ll never forget how happy we were all together singing songs and escaping the rain. Love you girls XX

Mexico is one of the most touristed places on the planet, due to the vast amount of activities and travelers it can cater to. The most prevalent areas in Mexico are the beach resorts; however, there is a lot more depth to this country than the cruises and all-inclusive resorts that are typically frequented. To see the real Mexico, explore areas that encompass the charming and eclectic Mexican vibe like Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guanajuato.
