PROJECT OVERVIEW

THE CENTRE:
The children here are aged between 1 and 14 years old. Their first language is Spanish and they are complete beginners to English. Your supervisor speaks basic English and so you do not need Spanish, although anything you do know will certainly be a big advantage! Travellers also runs excellent Spanish course in Mendoza and it is also possible to arrange Spanish lessons for you during or before your placement, at your level, on request - speak to us!

• An exciting, never-to-be-forgotten adventure into Latin America.

• The enormous satisfaction of helping disadvantaged children and knowing that you made a difference to them.

• New skills, more confidence, a greater understanding of a different culture, invaluable personal and professional development.
