I had an amazing time on my construction and renovation project in Antigua Guatemala. We build a treehouse playground for children with special needs outside the school. This was one of the most humbling and most memorable experiences of my life!

Great experience overall. I was a bit unprepared initially for the hands off approach after the initial orientation on day 1, but was able to quickly settle into a routine and found that Maximo Nivel was there as much as needed. It was good to see the team in the field and also for them to be able to call volunteers by name - shows that you are truly more than just a number or name running through their program. The Maximo Nivel team is genuine, fun, caring and a joy to serve with - the team I worked with worked together well and we each are sad to see the week end and to a one would stay, if we could. I’d recommend this experience.

For the last week, I was able to experience 5 incredibly meaningful clinic days, performing vitals and helping the doctor with diagnosis and scribing, as well as tasks such as distributing toothbrushes, anti-parasitic medicine, and being in the clinic pharmacy. I was also able to learn a lot of Spanish just from using it in action to talk to patients and children. I had so much fun and gained a lot of knowledge on the patients in Guatemala. None of the fun and insight I gained would have been possible without Jorge, who helped our entire group with setting up clinics and making sure everything is done smoothly and right. MaximoNivel also gave us lots of opportunities and fun things to do such as visiting Altamira and taking salsa lessons! It was truly an incredible week and an unforgettable experience.

Maximo Nivel took care of everything to make this the best experience possible! No matter what it is you need, they have you covered: housing, excursions, socialization, cultural experiences, but most importantly making an impact in the community for a better future.
