This project empowers Mayan people and their communities without compromising ongoing traditions of the indigenous culture. It empowers people, primarily women, children and the elderly, through education and community services. Volunteers can participate in a range of activities including: helping deliver and install water filters, fuel efficient oil stoves to remote villages; the construction and repair of schools and houses; caring for animals; office, computer and translation work, etc, Female volunteers can also work in one of the pre-schools.
There is no cost to participate but volunteers are responsible for covering their living expenses. Volunteers can choose to stay with families or in private accommodation.
