We were teaching english to 4th grade, 5th grade, and adults. All at different times and days, so you have to be flexible with the classes. The content we were supposed to teach was confusing to differentiate and took us a couple classes to get comfortable. The food was delicious and the family is nice. We were able to experience their culture and share some of ours. Other jobs included dishes and cleaning the store. Overall we enjoyed our time but you will need to be very flexible with your time and ready to work at different hours everyday.

Staying with Daniel and his family has been an incredible experience. You are involved in a super authentic Guatemalan daily life and in a great project (the school and the tienda). The work can easily be done and the students were so nice and welcoming! The work hours weren't always very clear and you need to ask for your days off. But whenever I wanted to do an activity outside of work they were flexible about it. Also the food is delicious - you will learn to love tortillas :) - and it's a great place to practice Spanish. Gracias por todo 🙏🏼

El lugar tiene unas vistas increíbles, desde el huerto puedes estar trabajando frente a la montaña y el lago. En cambio, mis dias allá no fueron agradables, ya que no me sentí bienvenida ni incluida por la familia, a veces incluso ignorada. El trato fue seco, simplemente como una trabajadora. Faltó espacio para compartir un intercambio cultural.

Primero Mil perdon por no sentirte bien, si te diste cuenta todos trabajamos, lo que si vi, que tu no te acercaste a la cocina, ayudar, o buscar esa inclusion, estuviste mucho tiempo en tu cuarto y no sabiamos que hacias, nosotros trabajamos siempre la PROACTIVIDAD, la intercambio lo inica uno, nosotros te buscamos muchas veces para comer, no te econtramos y estabas fuera de tiempo, lavar platos y la limpieza era la principal. PERO AMIGA MIL DISCULPAS POR EL INCONVENIENTE.

The town & mission is beautiful, but job requires to be VERY flexible. Tasks & meal time often change without communication. Important to keep in mind that facilities are very simple & you are comfortable with animals that try to take your food & sleeping/showering in the cold. note there are no locks on any doors, so do not bring items you don't want to lose. The host will not be helpful and tell you the place is public if items go missing. I did not feel welcomed by the host at times and he can be rude/demanding, but the daughters and mother were always nice. Cooking was great!

waw, but you was not working the 4 hours complete, you was here like visitor no helper. Thanks for your opinion,
I got not happy when I saw that you were checking your phone, while everyone was working. Communication is easy, wash dishes, help in the kitchen, and do a little cleaning and you didn't do that. The other visitors come and do all this without being told every day. A thousand apologies for accepting in our project, you did not come well concentrated to work, you only came to walk and see the town, they forget where you left your things. But thank you very much for coming to know the women's project.

El horario y el trabajo acordado se cumplió. las instalaciones son austeras pero cómodas. la comida un poco floja. no me sentí bienvenida por Daniel el anfitrión. las hijas y los voluntarios fueron amables, no así Daniel quien prácticamente no estableció conversación, hablaba en su lengua en la mesa, que se supone que la cena es el lugar de encuentro y reunión de todos. cuando me despedí me corrió la cara cuando le saludé. no lo tomo personal porque se que tiene otra cultura, no obstante si abre su casa a voluntarios internaciones debería ser más flexible en sus modos y más comunicativo.

Friend, I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused you on your trip, you didn't come to work, the instructions are clear, wash dishes, do cleaning, you didn't do any of that, you were over the moon... no concentra en el trabajo= ..., friend, visitors are fine with the commitment to help Mayan women and that's what they have to do, you didn't do that. I got upset because you weren't helping with what was agreed upon at the welcome.
We are a project, we are not a hotel, we need help to get the most needy people out of poverty.

Staying with this host/family you get to see a different way of living and I really appreciated the family letting us into their life. They are also very flexible with the workhours👍🏻Everyone in the family works a lot and sometimes we were just the volunteers at the house. This gave me a feeling that they truly trust the volunteers. In the beginning I wasn't quite sure where to start but I bet that if I asked again they'd given more instructions😌 We came up with things to do on our own as well. One other thing I loved were the animals! This place is great for practising your Spanish too👐🏻

San Juan La Laguna is really pretty, delicious food, great place to visit. Unfortunately I didn't experience the same with this host, consider before coming that there are two dogs that are not friendly and a cat that will jump to the table and will try to eat your food. The room wasn't cleaned, not clean bed sheets. They respected the hours of work, the food portions are little and there's not hot water so taking a shower is a challenge as the place it's really cold.

ooo no, amiga tienes que ser mas conciente, como te dije nosotros no somos un hotel, tu llegaste como un turista para un hotel no un voluntariado, perdon amiga si mi espacio no fue lo suficiente, NOSOTROS SOMO UN PROYECTO COMUNITARIO y eso no te diste cueenta, ademas las cobijas estaban ahi, tu no los usaste, ahora tengo 2 voluntarios quienes viven ahi, y no tengo ningun problema, PORFAVOR AMIGA, POR TU COMENTARIO AQUI, ME CIERRAN LA CUENTA, y no es justo, tu llegaste como un turista de hotel, no como voluntario, no veniste preparada para venir apoyar al proyecto. Ayudame amiga para que no me cierren este perfil

Mi experiencia fue muy buena. Me conecté bastante con la familia, aprendí sobre la cultura local y pude disfrutar de la tranquilidad de San Juan la Laguna. Todo es muy sencillo, habitación, baño, comida etc. No fue un problema para mi, solo es importante que tenga en mente eso antes de aplicar. Daniel es flexible y las tareas fueran fáciles, más ayudando con pintura. Extrañaré mis dias de San Juan!
