Program Schedule: The volunteer program can be arrange acceding your need and time availability. The minimum placement period for the Teaching program is 6 weeks. The schools are closed during March, April, June, July and October so the teaching English program is limited during this period. September-November there are local festivals that can disrupt your program. If you are volunteering for month or less, we do not recommend starting your placement at this time of year.
