  5. No meals will be included, you can work for three hours daily, split your time and agenda, like that you will have more time to go around and visit places, duties here are easy.
  
  7. The days for mowing grass, painting or duties that we consider heavy, two meals will be included but more hours will be demanded it is not daily but we need to mention that.
  
  8. Security cameras, this is a very important fact, the security system cameras, is distributed in the house outside, yard and backyard, and 1 camera is in the kitchen/dining room. We don't have any hide camera, you can see all of them, some times, we like to play around and talk with the pets trough cameras, it has nothing to do with you and your tasks, only for security, so if you feel uncomfortable with this, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY for the position, since we WILL NOT REMOVE THE CAMERAS by any means. Period.
  We will appreciate to be here with us no more than two weeks, since the tasks are very easy and we can host more volunteers.
  If you have construction skills please let us know, we can do something with your schedule and meals.
  Sometimes we like to share with our workawayers more about Guatemala culture by taking them to visit small towns or the city, we do believe that workaway experience is a journey to share stories and experiences not just working, so sometimes the invitation will be there if time let us do it.
