The application process with the Mundo Exchange is simple. Just answer the questions below and if you would like a local host to call you, let us know.
We will review your application, make arrangements for you with local hosts and projects, and get back to you on how and where you may assist our cross-cultural projects. You are also free to contact us and other volunteers if you have other questions.
If you like the projects the local people offer, you pay a percentage of your donation to secure the position and to help the locals who take time to prepare your placement and accommodations.
100% of your donation goes to in-need community members and projects you assist. Since we are a small, registered, NGO #87-0781320 your financial assistance, transportation and all other costs coming and going may be a tax write off. Ask your financial advisor about this possibility. Both the local association and Mundo will write letters that may help make donations from you or your sponsor tax deductable.
Your predeparture learning may begin by writing to current and past volunteers. Other information regarding letters for visa, cross-cultural training, travel ideas from other volunteers, teaching suggestions, language training can be sent your way prior to arrival.
We thank you for your interest in helping with our community empowerment projects! Whether you volunteer with us or not you are welcome to stop and visit, see our projects and meet local hosts.
Ain't nothing wring with being a mouse! 
Hey you guys, the website is really starting to look good. I told Dalyn that we have been working hard on a brochure here in the States for Mundo and have done quite a bit of editing on some of the website language. If you would like to see that, let me know…I love all the new pictures and updates on how the volunteering is going. We had some very enthusiastic students from Clark College wanting to come and talk part with Mundo in Thailand. One of them, a young man named Joey, will be writing you with interest in the internship or volunteering. He seemed to have great energy and spirit and has done lots of wonderful work in Vancouver with youth. He is really interested in business/infrastructure development. Just wnated to let you know. Take care. Joan
Nicely done guys!
Hats off to you.
Excellent post, keep up the good work. I know Chjul and the Ixil Triangle well. I was a guide/interpreter, resident in Guatemala for 9 years (1985-1994) before I moved back to El Salvador, now working in el Salvador on the ruta pazymemoria, cultural and ecotourism, restoration of villages and monuments damaged during El Salvador’s 12 year Civil War.
An article of mine on Cinquera, a village in Central America (one of
our pilot projects on Rural Ecotourism/Cultural & Historic sites here
in El Salvador) enjoy.
