Overall, I really loved my time at Colegio Internacional Poptún, especially working with the students because they are so friendly and welcoming to the volunteers. Since Poptún is not a very popular tourist location, it's a great place for cultural immersion. I learned a lot about Guatemala from the students, teachers, staff, and locals.

The only negative I had was that I expected to do more work in the "eco garden," but the garden wasn't being used while I was there. I think it would've helped if I had a more in-depth initial meeting with more detailed plans going into the experience.

Volunteering at Colegio Internacional Poptún was a great experience. You easily feel at home and the kids are kind, welcoming and very curious, which makes it even a better experience.

My experience was generally quite good at the colegio. My contribution the first week was mainly through video making, and observing how to school worked to set up projects with the kids. The 2nd and 3rd week, I worked more with the children and teachers, teaching music, meditation and storytelling. The kids are lovely and teachers absolutely dedicated to their work. I would recommend this experience more if you are an extroverted person, who can go with the flow in a differently organised system. For me, that was the hardest part since I am more introverted, sensitive and organised.

I would recommend volunteering at the school if you are an innovative person who would like to experience the culture and its school system. I was given the opportunity to run a project where I gave pedagogical training to the teachers, from which both I and the school learned a lot! In addition, I had the opportunity to experience the warmth of all the people in poptun, the teachers, students and families in Poptun. For example, I went to the zumba classes, at dinner with a family and I was given the opportunity to go to a public school for 1 day. Thanks to everyone and definitely Mishelle!

Working at the little school was one of the highlights of our trip so far. The school is nestled in a beautiful pine forest with squirrels, hummingbird and much more.
The kids were so lovely and full of life. They adopted us like we’d always been there and loved to get us to join in with lunchtime games. The staff were very welcoming too, inviting us to different activities after school and in the weekends. Overall it was a real pleasure working here and I hope we made some positive impacts along the way. A big thank you to our amazing hosts, Michelle, Juan and family for making it possible!
