Location: Guadalajara - Mexico
Language of Instruction: English

Overview
Projects Abroad sends volunteers abroad to 17 countries to do internships and service projects. Since being founded in 1992, we have grown to a team of 130 people around the world that sends 2000 volunteers annually. Volunteers can go at any time, for as long as they wish.

Projects Abroad has a variety of care placements in Guadalajara and in Ciudad Guzman, a smaller town in the volcanic region a couple of hours south. The thing all the care placements have in common is that you are helping children who have precious few other people to whom they can turn.
The help and skills that come in useful when undertaking one of these care placements are as varied as the problems the poorest children of Mexico face. One home where we work is for children whose parents are in prison. At times it must seem to these children that, apart from the nuns who run the centre, they have few things that are stable in their lives. Volunteers can help to break the monotony of everyday life by taking children out on trips, playing sport with them or introducing them to music - why not bring your guitar or clarinet to the orphanage! 5These are the sorts of things that the children will remember for a long time.
We also place volunteers at a school for blind girls aged 6 to 15 in Guadalajara. You are needed to assist the dedicated staff there, teaching the children about textures, materials and generally how to survive in a world which they are eager to explore.
There are also placements in a Downs Syndrome centre. The children there have limitless energy and you are sure to tire before they do! Help the children with everything from brushing their teeth to pronouncing their vowels properly. Any encouragement you can offer goes a long way to build the children's self-esteem and confidence. However exhausted you feel at the end of the day this placement it's really rewarding if the children have a good time.
