The Teaching English project is designed to spark interest in learning a foreign language and inspire Mexican students to think about their futures.

Volunteers work in community centers and childcare facilities, as well as in alternative and traditional schools.

The Mexican dream
by: maria jalwan - LebanonProgram: Volunteer and Teach in MexicoHola, I’m Maria and I just spent one month with IVHQ Mexico in Merida. If I want to describe my experience here in one world, I would say that it was phenomenal. I won’t lie to you, the first week was hard. It takes time and effort to integrate yourself into a new culture, and to get used to the food, the language, and the lifestyle. However, once you get used to it, you will love it and become quite attached to it. Also, I realized that everything depends on the mindset you travel in: Having ...
