About IFRE's Guatemala Volunteer Program (in General)

How long has IFRE been working in Guatemala ? Whom do you work with? Where are you located? What are IFRE's programs?

IFRE has been running volunteer projects for a number of years all over Latin America . We work with a number of orphanages, schools, NGOs, governmental organizations, non-profits and communities. IFRE's volunteer projects in Guatemala are located in Antigua , Guatemala City, and regions found throughout the ancient reaches of the Mayan Empire. With people as diverse as its history and landscaped, Guatemala is a paradise for anyone – be it an archeologist, architect or world-traveler. Containing developing and sprawling cities with echoing remnants of its multi-faceted past, Guatemala's lands offer opportunities for those wanting to not only travel to another country, but another time as well.

Currently, IFRE offers the following projects in Guatemala : orphanage, street children project, English-Teaching Project, Healthcare Project, and a Social Work Project. ALSO: IFRE offers free Spanish lessons to participants volunteering in Guatemala . For some projects, a certain level of Spanish is preferred to prevent volunteers from becoming frustrated due to the occasionally-occurring language barrier.
