Living at Misión Mexico is intense but wonderful for volunteers. We are responsible for helping with the daily running of the refuge, such as wake-up, chore supervision, homework, meal supervision, getting ready for school, bedtime, and other activities like sports, arts and crafts, or whatever skill you want to bring to the house.

We need people who are loving but can also discipline the children. These children come to us from a history of abuse, neglect, and poverty. Part of their education with us is not only going to school but also learning how to be respectful, look after their things, and live with others as a family. It is important to stress that this isn't a holiday but a busy work time for volunteers, but it is so rewarding and you will walk away from here with so much love for the children. The first 2 weeks are usually the most difficult, as you get used to the heat, and learn the routine and all the kids’ names. Volunteers will have at least one full day off every week to rest.
