Also, medical missions are organized many times, where people from the area can benefit from. The institution belongs to the Franciscan Friars.

Tasks of the volunteer:
- Giving a lot of attention & love to the patients
- Talking, playing, helping with the meals, get them dressed will make these people's day!

In this project you will work from 8:30 am to 5 pm but you can choose between mornings, afternoons or both, so it's perfect to combine your volunteering with Spanish lessons in your free time, which is a nice way to improve your Spanish but also learn about the Guatemalan culture.
