We have joined the social networking phenomenon in order to help more people like you to get out there and experience a different corner of the globe. What will our Facebook page say about us? It will be all about how studying, interning and volunteering abroad is good for you, your community and the globe. It's impossible to travel abroad and not have your life changed radically. Plus, it's really fun.

What you will get by connecting with us on Facebook - a way to befriend others who have had a life changing experience through World Endeavors or through travel in general, great close-up shots of our sites, and up to date info on our global projects.

What you won't get - annoying invitations and pokes. OK, maybe an invitation here or there - but definitely no pokes!

If you are interested in becoming a global citizen or if you are well on your way to becoming an intrepid explorer, then find us on Facebook!

We are thrilled to announce four new volunteer projects in this intensely vibrant Central American country. You can choose from volunteering at an orphanage, teaching at a school, providing health care assistance or working with a women's group. This is a great location for individuals who have a passion to serve others and learn another language. Your Spanish will be much improved when you head home and you will have contributed in a meaningful way to people who will touch your heart. We are ready to help you start planning your adventure to lush, unforgettable Guatemala!

Volunteer in Guatemala

Last month, our fearless leader, Tom Peden met someone very important. No, not George, or Hillary or Barack or John. He met the newly inaugurated president of Guatemala, Álvaro Colom. We had to know, where did you meet him? What was he like? Tom apparently met him in the airport on his way out of the country and being a good student of the world, he recognized President Colom. "I approached his security detail and asked if I could meet the president," Tom relayed. Tom was brought to the president and they chatted about the weather and World Endeavors' new programs in Guatemala. "He was very interested in our projects and was happy to invite volunteers from other countries to spend time in Guatemala helping its people and learning about the culture - he was a really nice, approachable guy." After a photo op and well wishes, each flew on to other destinations. You never know who you'll meet in an international airport.
