"I loved every single activity and all of the service we gave! Even when I was not particularly knowlegable in a certain area, it was great to learn more and help everyone else on their projects. I discovered talents and interests that I had no idea I had before. Every single moment was so great. I loved it!"

 

-Jessica Reeves, Uganda 2007

"Once anyone allows themselves to let go of the walls they have created, and allow their true heart to be exposed, the joy and the growth both for the giver and the receiver is unequal to anything else. While in Guatemala, I was able to experience honest love between me and the people I was serving. Never have I been apart of something so pure and beautiful. I thank HELP International for the opportunity to change my life, and in the process, bless others. I shall never forget the lessons learned and the experiences had while in Guatemala."

Guatemala

Our program in Guatemala has been running for four years.Volunteers in Guatemala live in a remote area away from the capitol. We live in the village of Chimaltenango and work in surrounding rural villages. Volunteer work is mostly rural-based in Guatemala, with projects including: adobe stoves, Spanish literacy, square-foot gardens, public health campaigns, business training, and construction.


Country Description: Guatemala is located in Central America with a strong presence of traditional Mayan culture. Guatemala is mountainous and home to many Mayan ruins and artifacts. Guatemala's economy is mostly based on exporting agriculture, such as bananas, coffee and sugar. Guatemala is a country full of cultural diversity, Mayan roots, and beautiful scenery, making it a tourist hot-spot for many Europeans and North Americans. Unfortunately, this has done little to improve the living situation of the rural poor throughout GAlthough Spanish is the official language of Guatemala, at least twenty-one Mayan languages are spoken as well as several non-Mayan languages. Therefore, while Spanish fluency is preferred, volunteers do not have to speak Spanish to participate.uatemala.

Donate over the phone:  (801) 374-0556


Donate online through Network for Good:


Please understand that HELP International is not affiliated with the Network for Good. Network for Good is a charity designed to help and support small nonprofit organizations with online collections. We believe their service is very valuable to us, however you should know that they will retain 3% of your total donation to help cover the expense of credit card transactions. We find that for small and medium sized transactions this is very reasonable. Hence, if you are making a $1,000 donation, HELP International will only receive $970. The tax receipt that we send you will only cover the net donation that we receive. By printing a receipt from Network for Good, you may, however, deduct 100% of your donation from your personal taxes. If you are making a large contribution to the organization, we encourage you to contact the office or mail us a personal/company check to avoid any processing fees. This fee applies to phone-in credit card transactions as well.


Network for Good will allow you to make a donation to us on behalf of a volunteer or to specific projects. If you are donating to a specific project, please indicate that project or country in the "Designation" box. If you are making a contribution to help one of our volunteers, please indicate the name of the volunteer in the "Dedication" box.
