Mexico Volunteer Vacation Testimonials

"One day, a security guard joined a lesson with two students and spoke English along with them. The director informed me that he had never heard the guard speak English before and credited my efforts to achieve this. As we were boarding the bus to leave the campus, the guard waved and placed his hand over his heart."
~ Eve McGrory, MD

“As a first-timer, I arrived with curiosity and am departing with commitment. Keep up the good work. It makes a difference.”
~ Robert Ingersoll, DE

“The dedication of veteran volunteers was impresseive and surprising. I didn't expect such an intensive volunteer opportunity…. My conclusion?  Come prepared to work hard and learn a lot and have a hugely rewarding experience which really does change many lives.”

"Life for the average Mexican is tough and yet they are hard-working, warm and friendly, happy and family-oriented. The schools stress learning English to open doors for economic and social betterment. This experience gave me a greater empathy for their economic plight and struggle to better their condition. We in the U.S. have so much, others so little."
~ Ted Monnig, OH

“The students were eager participants in the process – warm, open and anxious to please. This has been a wonderful site for volunteers. It is a privilege – well organized, comfortable and the town is an interesting base. Be prepared for a wonderful experience.”
~ Marcia Rubin, MA

"There were many times when I missed some aspects of home, but as we pack up, I can't seem to remember missing home at all. I'm not quite ready to let go."
