GUATEMALA / Global Vision International
Volunteering with GVI on this short-term community project will help you to improve the standard of living for indigenous communities situated near Antigua, Guatemala. Volunteer to build energy-efficient stoves to help families below the poverty line improve their living conditions. Indoor air pollution is responsible for more deaths each year than either Malaria or AIDS, and a cleaner, more energy-efficient stove can add literally decades onto the life-expectancy of a house’s occupants.
In just a week, you can help to vastly improve one family’s situation, with both your physical and your financial contribution. You can also learn Spanish while you are there as well, with 10 hours of one-on-one Spanish lessons included, and go on a half-day adventure biking, rock-climbing or hiking.
