Volunteer programs in Guatemala

What can I do to help an orphanage in Guatemala?

A volunteer in Guatemala can help orphanages in several different ways. Such institutions need help constantly, since non-profit organizations often face difficulties to help as many people as possible. You can offer classes to the children or simply be a nice companion playing with them! At the same time, you can help the orphanages in a more complex level such as dealing with administrative issues, or helping them with social media to bring more volunteers in the future. The important thing is to keep an open heart and have willingness to help!
