Leah Anderson just returned from spending a year volunteering in Guatemala. Here's what she had to say about the experience:

"Guatemala is the most beautiful place in the world, and Momostenango is the best place in Guatemala to do volunteer work. I spent 2008 teaching the preschool, kindergarten, first, second, and third -graders in Colegio Mesoamericano. They learned English, and I learned patience, lesson planning techniques, and presentation skills; and also developed an immense love for the people of this country. In addition to teaching five classes, the school involved me in a few other projects; such as painting a mural on playground wall, reorganizing the library, and interviewing the economically-struggling students and their families in order to create a web page to find sponsors for these children. Living with a host family was the perfect situation for me because it gave me a chance to experience true Guatemalan culture, and I got to practice my Spanish. During vacations and on weekends I traveled to ruins, beaches, natural springs, jungles and lakes, bought souvenniers and took thousands of pictures. This year in Guatemala has changed my life, and I've been able to influence the lives of over two hundred children. To anyone searching for an opportunity to serve, an adventure, or both, I recommend working for Colegio Mesoamericano!"
