For orphanage volunteer work in Guatemala, our volunteers live in the city of Antigua.
At a typical orphanage there are 20+ children ranging from infants to 10 years of age, in good health and well-cared for.
As a volunteer you will assist the full-time Guatemalan staff (4-6 typically) with activities like playing games, arts and crafts, basic writing and reading, and generally serving as a caring presence.
