Mexico City is built atop the ruins of the great Aztec city, Tenochtitlán. The Aztecs who originated in northern Mexico created the magnificent city, as well as, social, political, commercial, and religious customs that are still embedded in the country today.
The historic city of Puebla in the eastern part of Mexico sits in the valley of one of the country’s highest volcanoes, Cuetlaxcoapan. But, this is not the only reason the city has earned its historic title. As a cultural and commercial trade route, the city has commanded its influence in Mexico since the 16th century.

We want you to succeed. That means having in place the support our volunteers need. We don’t just drop you in country and hope for the best. We provide training before you leave … language exposure … 24/7 in-country support … support for your host family … accommodations, meals and airport transportation … activities and excursions. The whole idea is to make the experience successful and productive for you and the host community, and we have found that these things are crucial. Remember that we are a non-profit, mission-driven organization – we wouldn’t spend money on something that wasn’t important.
