Description

TLALOC has been trying to bring different volunteers to participate in the different areas that available that varies from taking care of the little children all the way to teaching them English. The participants can also help by arranging the kids and organizing them in order to get into the dining room when it is time to eat and the volunteers are allowed to help them learn any language that the foreign volunteers speak.

Instituto de Idiomas TLALOC offers a variety of different excursions and trips during your stay in this program as well as Spanish lessons for those who don't speak the language yet.

Highlights

Bring all types of clothing and stuff for different seasons, such as umbrellas, sweaters and jackets (because it rains a lot during the Summer time, from May to October). If possible, bring used or new clothing & toys and non perishable food to donate them to the orphans. Their ages vary from 1 month old to 16 years old!

On the other hand, it's also advisable to bring shorts and light clothing in case of having a trip to the different archeological sites or towns that are extremely hot, don't forget a hat or sombrero either!

Qualifications

It will be great if you are an advanced beginner or intermediate in speaking Spanish, this requirement is not a must because most of the staff that work in the different volunteering/internship areas do speak some English already. Also being 16 years old and up is neccesary.
