General Description	La Quiaca is a border town of Bolivia and is 3,442 feet above sea level. It is famous for being located in the arid lands of the Puna plateau and the north of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. Here we find the community center "Verdurita", which hosts social, educational and cultural activities. It is run by a married couple who are missionaries and are supported by volunteers and neighbours from La Quiaca. The town has all services (water, electricity, sewage, natural gas, and internet).
Tasks	The purpose of this project is for volunteers to help with daily activities at the community center such as helping in the kitchen to prepare lunch, spending time with older adults and children or helping young children with homework.
Key Information & Benefits	This is a unique opportunity to be part of a cultural exchange program where you can explore the richness of a culture and its traditions. You will also have the chance to do some meaningful travel, be responsible and cooperate with a grassroots social organization all at the same time. The project coordinators are both Catholic missionaries and they relate this to most of the activities at the community center but without imposing their believes.
Schedule	Flexible; The Community Center is open Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm. Volunteers will agree on a regular schedule with the local coordinator.
Spanish Level Required	Intermediate
Minimum Stay	4 weeks
Location	La Quiaca, Jujuy, North Argentina
