Area: Quetzaltenango

Our Community Center is a non-profit, non-governmental organization funded by its Spanish language school. All of our proceeds return directly to the community through our educational programs for children, which involve teaching English, art, Spanish reinforcement, mathematics, science, theater, and more at four sites on the outskirts of Quetzaltenango (Guatemala´s second-largest city). The children we serve often come from families who have been marginalized by poverty, indigenous Mayan heritage, or rural backgrounds, and many lack access to the privilege of a primary school education even though six years are theoretically provided free of charge under the Guatemalan system. Our foreign volunteers provide creative, thoughtful instruction and activities which these children would otherwise not receive. To that end we seek dedicated and enthusiastic individuals who are motivated to give back to some of the most disenfranchised communities in Quetzaltenango. If you are interested in learning about grassroots social development work through education, want to gain valuable international teaching experience, and improve your Spanish through work with kids, our Community Center has a place for you!

Bonjour! We are Dalila (French), Pete (English), Emilie our 2 year old daughter and Bart, our ginger cat. Our place is an old château set in the mountains of the Ariege Pyrénées, at 500m. We have spent the last 2 years renovating the interior and we're now focusing on the garden, with a vegetable patch, composting, water butts, a woodshed and solar panels. We'd like your help to continue the work in the grounds, and looking for enthusiastic people who are hard working and enjoy the outdoors! *** Sorry we have no availabilities until Spring 2011. *** Our main projets are: - renovate a bathroom (plastering, painting) - rebuild a stone wall - build a terrasse - chainsaw, cut and split wood for heating - expand our veg patch - weed and tidy the grounds A hand with the daily washing up and cleaning would also be appreciated! We can accomodate 2 people in the chateau in newly decorated double bedrooms, each with their own toilet and wash room. We have broadband/wireless internet and a laptop at your disposal. We also provide 2 mountain bikes to get around. We offer full board in exchange for 25h help per week: typically 5h/day for 5 days and 2 days off.

Area: Asturias (N-Spain)

We are volunteers for the local dog shelter and the donkey sanctuary nearby. At the moment I am referring volunteers who want a taste of Asturias to contact Marleen at the donkey paradise - about 20 donkeys, 4-5 dogs and even a few horses and 8ha to take care of (and a vegetable garden of course!).
