At El Mirador Gualán, we want to beautify the entrance to our mountain through a project that combines artisanal construction and nature. We are looking for volunteers with experience in stone walls to help us build a wall about 15 meters long by 1 meter high and to complete the landscaping of the area. We offer lodging, three meals a day, and the opportunity to share Guatemalan culture in a natural setting with beautiful panoramic views.
The main activities will be the construction of an artisanal stone wall and the landscaping of the entrance façade to our mountain.
The tasks include:
Selection and placement of stones to build the wall.
Organization and preparation of the work area.
Planting and distribution of vegetation.
Beautification and maintenance of the garden.
We are looking for people with hands-on experience in stone wall construction. Schedules and breaks will be agreed in advance with volunteers, ensuring suitable conditions for outdoor work.
We provide construction materials, lodging, and three meals a day, seven days a week.
- Treat all people, the work team and the community with respect.
- Adhere to the schedules and agreements established for the activities.
- Work responsibly and follow safety guidelines.
- Use tools and materials properly.
- Keep the work area and the lodging clean and tidy.
- Take care of plants, trees, and the natural environment.
- Do not consume alcohol or substances that could compromise safety during activities.
- Notify in advance if there is any obstacle to fulfilling the agreed activities.
We hope for a living together based on respect, collaboration, and care for nature.
