  • Description

    You have no idea how many children (poor and homeless or even orphans) we have in our town's streets... If you're trying to learn Spanish and at the same time take part of this awesome program, then you have come to the right place...

  • Highlights

    We have several agreements with different orphanages and government agencies who are actually admitting volunteers/interns from abroad who would like to help in getting the kids off the streets, and therefore, off the drugs and crime of course! Come on over and make a big difference while acquiring the language and learning the history and culture of this great country... You'll have the most wonderful experience of your life.

  • Qualifications

    There aren't actually any special requirements for this program, just the willingness to make a huge difference in our poor communities & speaking Spanish good enough to get by, otherwise, the participants who are not familiar with the basic Spanish skills, will have to take Spanish lessons for at least a week (it does not have to be at TLALOC). Everyone is admitted at 16 years of age and up, kids under 16 must come with their parents.

  • Typical Volunteer

    Most of the people who have participated in TLALOC's programs get involved with the orphanage shelter more than any other activity, that's why today TLALOC is focusing and trying to bring everyone's attention into this project which has been really forgotten, obviously it is also part of the orphanage but in a different way... perhaps the participants from abroad can bring out new ideas in how to convince the kids not to do drugs and to allow the orphanage help them out... GOD will reward everyone for this richly!

  • Instituto de Idiomas e Intercambio Cultural TLALOC's Mission Statement

    TLALOC's main purpose is to become a leading language school in teaching Spanish as a second language for foreigners as same as bringing volunteers from abroad with the mere purpose of helping those communities who most need it. TLALOC strives to help both, the local and foreign students to learn the language in a highly and effective method, especially Spanish in the way it is spoken in Mexico and English for the Mexican students with a motivated method that is at an affordable price. We also promote mutual cultural experience from Mexico's poorest towns within the state of Morelos. That's why TLALOC offers different volunteering and internship opportunities as a plus so that the participants can help out in making a big difference in the sorrounding poor communities that arise every day in Cuernavaca's City and the state of Morelos, Mexico. All kinds of Donations are always welcome!
