IVHQ Guatemala Experience (English Teaching)

I'm not sure where to begin to describe this incredibly life-changing experience. I had an incredible time in Guatemala. My volunteer placement, host family, local team, the friends I made, and the cultural activities were all aspects that exceeded my expectations. What an incredible way to immerse yourself in a new culture while giving back to the local community. I'm particularly thankful to the kids I taught classes to - I thought I would be teaching them, but they were the real teachers, teaching me to have fun and enjoy the little things in life! All of this would not have been possible without IVHQ's support. Their guidance was truly valuable in ensuring the preparation period and the trip went smoothly. I can now join the comment pool and say, "Go for it." The only problem is that you will not want to leave Guatemala :)
