My time with Maximo Nivel has been absolutely tremendous. They are an organization filled with professional and friendly people who are constantly there for you and to help their students grow. They also do tremendous work in the communities around them and are truly appreciated everywhere they do work. I fully recommend their programs and hope to be back soon myself!

For the past three months, I have volunteered with the construction team. Our construction project was at a clinic in San Miguel Dueñas, about a 20 minute bus ride from Antigua, Guatemala. At first when we arrived, there were two rooms which were left completely unfinished in the clinic. It was our job to install roofs, plaster walls, paint the walls, and install a plumbing system in these two rooms. This clinic is often used for vaccines which means there are many children who come to the clinic everyday. We added murals all over the clinic of trees, various animals, trains, planets, and more so that the kids’ experiences at the clinic would be more enjoyable. I really enjoyed the opportunity that I was given by Maximo Nivel to do construction work. I had a great time working with the Maximo staff, including our construction supervisor.

I spent three months in Guatemala completing construction on a free health clinic in the town of San Miguel Dueñas. I had a great trip and enjoyed seeing the progress of the construction each day. I also was able to improve my Spanish each day by speaking with my construction project manager as well as the people I met in Guatemala. I would highly recommend this kind of international construction work to anyone eager to make a difference in a tangible way!
