• Top 10 reasons to choose a volunteering program
  abroad in Latin America?
• Nowadays with so many choices and distractions,
  choosing how to spend your holidays , gap year
  or free time can be a task in itself. Why not to
  do something meaningful this time? Volunteer
  abroad with INLEXCA ,whether it be teaching kids
  math, planting trees, helping wildlife or at a
  clinic . Here are our 8 top picks of why you
  should volunteer abroad in Latin America
• Chip in for a better world.
• By giving your time a the right place you can
  have a deep impact not only through your work,
  but through a fresh perspective and new ideas.
  Everybody has something they are good at, so if
  you are good at math, music, building or other
  skills you can share your expertise with people
  that will appreciate it. By volunteering in
  Latin America you can have a different experience
  from giving your time at your home country.
• Learn Spanish
• Hola! A very important part of the culture is its
  language. By volunteering abroad in a Spanish
  speaking country, naturally you will pick up its
  language and improve on what you already know. By
  living surrounded by Spanish speakers you will
  learn in a whole different way, its like being
  in a class all day without even realizing it!
  After all Spanish is the 3rd most spoken Language
  in the world after Mandarin and English.
• Advance your career
• Employers look very closely at experience when
  making a choice to hire, and volunteering looks
  good on a resume. You can pick your volunteering
  abroad experience so it matches what what you
  know and your field of study, so in the end it
  becomes an experience that is helpful for your
  career. Smart move!

5 Travel and really get to know the
culture. Traveling and really getting to know
the culture is different than just spending a few
days here and there and sticking to touristy
sport. By volunteering you will spend more time
in the country and interact with more local
people that will further enrich your experience.
This way you will really get to know the country
you are volunteering in and not just see the
tourist attractions.

• Help where you are needed
• At INLEXCA we pair you up with projects that need
  your help and where your skills will be used .
• Its better for the projects and better for you ,
  as the right person doing the right things will
  have a good impact in the quality of life of
  others.
• It will change your perspective
• Volunteering in another country does not impact
  the place where you volunteer ,but it also
  impacts you. Many volunteers return to their
  home countries with a different perspective on
  life, with new ideas, life goals ,gratitude and
  positive outlook .
• You will inevitably have a second home
• Since most of our programs are with host
  families, volunteers often find themselves
  feeling so much of a part of the family it
  becomes their second home!
