Make a Difference!  Be part of our SOCIAL - ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS, 

Study Spanish, hike and trek with us and help at the same time!    

Guatemalensis Spanish School is creating, developing and supporting Social Projects from 1990!

 In addition to our excellent Spanish Language teaching, Guatemalensis Spanish School (GSS) develops and supports Programmed Social Projects to help poor, disadvantaged families and children improve their adverse living conditions. You will have the opportunity to participate in our Social Projects through direct interaction with needy Guatemalan families and children.  You will also have the guarantee that a percentage of your tuition will be used and donated to the direct education of the children and families in our Social Projects.  We encourage you to share your talents with the needy Guatemalans in our Social Projects by taking part in one or more of the services we offer: tutoring in all school subjects, nutritional counseling for mothers,  sports and game playing with children, clothing and school supply drives, holiday celebrations, and much more.  Ask us how to participate in our Scholarships Program for Children at Risk

    As a nonprofit organization, Guatemalensis offers its students the opportunity to help Guatemalan communities better their lives through its service project. A percentage of your tuition will go directly to purchasing school supplies for impoverished families in the Quetzaltenango area. Also, GSS organizes optional visits to these families, allowing you to interact with them first hand and make a personal difference.

   My two weeks here at Guatemalensis were completely packed with adventures, new experiences, and of course, learning and about the culture in Guatemala. I wish I had more time! Being a woman travelling alone it can be difficult to see and experience all that Guatemala has to offer. I felt very safe at the School and was given the opportunity to go things I couldn't do on my own like hiking, for example. The atmosphere at the school is also very sociable and encourages conversing in spanish. To me the Social Project was very rewarding and I really enjoyed the hands on aspect of it -being able to teach the kids and give food to the families was definetly eye-opening and very rewarding. My host family was absolutely amazing and I learned so much from them. I will definetly return to Guatemalensis in the future. Katie Rasmussen, Canada
