It was a pleasure to spend a week volunteering at the school International Poptun. The children, teachers and the support staff were very welcoming to us. It is amazing to see the teachers' love and dedication to the kids' wellbeeing and their education. Everyone at school is happy and cheerful. The school has a beautiful setting in the woods. The goal for us was to contribute our time and skills to the school improvements and in return learn about local Guatemalan daily lives and culture. We loved the experience and the memories will forever be in our hearts.

Working at the school was super fun and rewarding. We only volunteered for 9 days but we really enjoyed our time at the school, meeting locals, enjoying the nature and viewpoints around poptun. We loved having bikes to get about from place to place. The hours were flexible which is great. The teachers are hardworking and you can see the passion and care they have for the children. We hope to come back and visit everyone one day, thank you for having us <3

It was an amazing experience surrounded by kind, caring and welcoming staff. The children are lovely and really do engage with you despite the language barrier. The staff are so grateful and welcome you within the school. I spent my days in the baby gym which volunteers don't usually do, so the teachers there where really happy and I quickly gained the trust of the little ones (who are super adorable). An unforgettable experience with unforgettable people - I will miss it!

We only spent one week at the international school in Poptun, but it was a wonderful experience and a great time! Mishelle, all the teachers and the kids are very welcoming and friendly. The accommodation is really good. The room is big and clean and the food is delicious. You feel like you are in a beautiful jungle, but the city center is very close. The work is very fun, you can choose your own project and get in touch with the kids! Almost everyone speaks spanish, if you have a little knowledge it is a bit difficult, but good to practice. Sadly, we couldn't stay longer. Thanks to everyone!

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.

Heartwarming and fantastic experience! Highly recommended for someone who loves kids, teaching, learning, and experiencing local culture. People here are very lovely, welcoming, and helpful. The owners are wonderful and the kids will just forever still your heart! You will be asked to help in school 25 hours a week. Tasks may vary according to your interests. You will also have a lot of free time, mostly after 2/3 pm.

Had an amazing time at the school, the people there were absolutely incredible, only spent two weeks there but felt so settled in that was gutted to leave. Definitely important to come with some ability in Spanish already! Great for learning but smoother running if you have a basis probably

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.

Volunteering at the school international was an incredible experience. Juan and Mishelle are extremely welcoming people who are passionate about their work. The teachers are also very friendly and willing to help. The students are adorable and love volunteers. English is very limited at the school, with both teachers and students speaking only a few words so if you don't have at least a basic level of Spanish it will be difficult. I found the experience intense yet rewarding and I would recommend to anyone with a passion for teaching and children.

Volunteering here for about one month was a great and fun experience. Despite the school being new, the staff and students were incredibly eager to learn. Volunteers need to be proactive, because there may not always be established routines. But the staff is very kind, friendly, and supportive. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a rewarding experience. I am very grateful for the lovely staff, parents, and kids. The local the school is welcoming and I've made some incredibly people that I can now call my friends. I will forever cherish the amazing people I met.
