Countries, where you can volunteer: Thailand Guatemala
Mundo Exchange is a non-profit organization working to support cultural exchanges around the world.
Mundo Exchange is committed to providing excellent and innovative volunteer programs and global exchanges. We strive to provide high quality services for meaningful volunteer experiences.
Mundo Exchange provides scholarships and international funding for community and small business development in areas that are in great need financially.
Mundo Exchange volunteers believe that the money should go to the people in less economically developed regions, towards grassroots projects that will enable community, economic and educational growth.
Volunteer fees and outside donations do not go to western coordinators or program expansion and money is used for people who truly need it. In this way Mundo Exchange differs greatly from many international non-profit organizations and we believe that this credence is integral to the structure and success of our work.
The Mundo Exchange Mission
All at Mundo Exchange believe that volunteer exchanges foster international understanding. We believe in the importance of international community development and outreach, global education, international service, environmental awareness, and that’s just the beginning.
We believe that through hard work, humor, arts and educational opportunities, volunteers can participate in an exchange with international communities and individuals to enrich the lives of all of those involved.
Volunteers with Mundo Exchange help to support grassroots international volunteer programs that lead to
- poverty reduction,
- economic sustainability, and
- increased knowledge of the educational and technical tools necessary for success in this modern world.
We believe in non-discrimination and equality on all levels and strive to improve our worlds and selves.

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.
