Descripción
Have you ever wanted to visit San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas and get an authentic cultural experience? Then this is the organization for you! We are an organization that specializes in various activities across San Cristóbal de Las Casas. We are looking for positive, energetic, and outgoing volunteers to join us in helping low income families across the region. Our most popular program is our English teaching program, which aims to help locals practice their English speaking and writing skills. Although not a requirement, we do prefer native English speakers, as this presents the locals with a better opportunity to practice their conversational skills. Do you have other skills to share with the people? Our newest project aims to teach and expose the locals to many forms of art, such as music, visual arts, theatre, dancing, graffiti, etc. So if you’re a natural born creative, and have experience in the following areas, feel free to apply… all we need is a positive attitude and willingness to help in the projects described below.
