Que hermoso fue poder estar con estos niños tan amables, inteligentes y divertidos. La experiencia en Colégio the school es algo que realmente recomiendo. Allí fui muy bien recibida y tuve la acogida y el estímulo que necesitaba para desarrollar mi trabajo. Además, pude contar con una habitación cómoda y ventilada ubicada en el propio the school, en una zona muy arbolada. Gracias a Mishelle por la oportunidad, a las teachears y a todo el equipo por recibirme e invitarme a las actividades de convivencia (fútbol, ​​baloncesto, cine...) y por fin a los niños por darle sentido a todo esto.

Maravillosa experiencia!!! 100% recomendada! Mi rol fue encargarme del laboratorio de ciencias, haciendo entretenidos experimentos de física, biología y química con el fin de despertar la curiosidad por la ciencia en los niños. Fue hermoso ver cómo los niños quedaron tan entusiasmados que luego en el recreo jugaban a "los científicos". Son niños increíbles y deseosos de hacerse amigos de los voluntarios. Las "teachers" y todo el staff son muy amables. Te harán sentir muy cómodo desde el primer día. Definitivamente es una ayuda saber hablar español para conectar con los niños.

Esta fue mi primera experiencia como voluntaria, pero estoy realmente admirada y complacida de haber estado en este lugar y compartir con personas tan especiales, que nos trataron como alguien de su familia, un ambiente lleno de paz y amor estoy muy agradecida los días se pasaron muy rápido pero me llevo en mi corazón todas las vivencias el cariño de todas las personas, este lugar está lleno de muchas atracciones turísticas, gente alegre , emprendedora, etc. Estoy planeando regresar nuevamente porque aún quedan muchas cosas por descubrir y explorar . Muchas gracias Mishelle, y familia .

Overall, I really loved my time at the school, 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 the school 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.

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!

This was our first volunteer experience and it was wonderful. You get a lot of freedom about how you contribute to the project. We helped with English classes, teacher training, and created a volunteer handbook. The people are so lovey! We don't know much Spanish but they were very forgiving. They offered to take us on walks, a river trip, and to Zumba. The property is gorgeous. The cabin is surrounded by nature and animals, very tranquil. The meals are great. We want to come back one day! I really recommend it. The intention of the school is beautiful. You won't regret going here.

This was an incredible experience. Mishelle and her family went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. They helped me sort out transportation to Poptún, picked me up from the bus stop, and invited me to dinner. All of the teachers and kids were very excited to have me there. Bridget, one of the teachers, is studying to be an aesthetician and is practicing her services. You should ask her about it, she does hair and manicure/pedicure services and gave me a really nice pedicure. Overall, I can only say good things. Only thing I will say, you must be ok with animals/insects!
