Guatemalan construction projects are focused on home-building, school and orphanage renovation, and building playground and bathroom facilities for areas that don’t have them.
Volunteers work with a local foreman who provides guidance and training, along with families and other volunteers. Volunteers should come ready to work and to work hard, as you’ll be laying brick, doing carpentry, painting, laying tile, and landscaping/gardening. Volunteers are not required to have experience with construction work, but a reasonable level of fitness and strong dedication to the work at hand will go a long way to ensuring you get the most out of your volunteer project.
