We are searching for talented individuals who are great photographers; and want to work with a NGO (non-profit foundation) and our social development enterprises. Our ideal workawayer will help us enhance our communication of our work within the community of Santa Cruz La Laguna, Lake Atitlan. Our NGO is coming up on our 25th year anniversary, and much of our work is in anticipation of this milestone. The project would be in June/July 2023.
You would be working with our young, professional, and energetic staff. Our Executive Director is from the USA, our Commuications director is from Guatemala City, and the balance of our staff are Cachiquel Mayan.
Please visit our current website, Facebook profile, and our YouTube channel. This will give you a complete picture of our mission, where we are in our marketing and social media.
Very specific short term goals for our next volunteer will be able to help improve our photos and videos documenting our programs and our community. Spanish language desired
We will provide you a nice comfortable private room, shared bath, and shared kitchen in a local homestay. We will include one meal per day.
Hope to hear from you soon, Lee & Pablo.
Our location and where you will be living and playing during your spare time:
This is a base camp for exploring Lake Atitlan Guatemala. Choose from different activities such as hiking the mountains surrounding the lake, kayak excursions or go on private tours by boat. You can find adventures that suits your interest and your own level of activity.
We are happy to help you have an amazing experience. We give you the opportunity to have experiences that will let you learn about the Mayan culture and meet many of the locals . The Mayan people are very proud of their cultural past and they enjoy sharing their efforts to keep it alive and strong today. They would love to interact with you. One of the reason we started this is as a way of creating jobs for locals and supporting our non-profit. One of the big challenges of life in Guatemala is to improve the lives of the local people. The non profit is focused on improving the education and nutrition of the Mayan.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado
