Volunteer Spanish Academy Home

Your host family is the primary and integral part of the immersion experience. They will open their homes, their hearts and their lives to you. You will see how children are raised, marriages are celebrated and slangs are used in daily life of middle class Guatemalans. Your room will not be extravagant but will be clean and comfortable with sufficient privacy. When you are at their dining table, you will enjoy the authentic Guatemalan food which will be a learning experience in itself. And of course, your host can fix you a wonderful vegetarian meal as well. A life-long friendship will be built as you would sit after dinner and talk for hours or go out to a Sunday mass, shopping and fiesta. All our host families are located within 5 minutes of walking distance from our Academy. The Central Park, banks, ATMs, laundry places, café, restaurants, bus stops, supermarket, museums, bakeries, etc. are all located within 10 minutes of walking distance from your host family. We encourage you to communicate with your host family about your preference on foods, time to be woken up, etc. If you have a special diet and/or medical need, please feel free to let us know. We will do our best to accommodate your needs. Your host family will provide you with three meals a day, purified drinking water and private room.If you wish to change your host family for any reason, please feel free to let us know at anytime. We will have a new arrangement ready for you right away. |
