Hables English is FREE for our English speaking volunteers!
That’s right - FREE. No catch!
First, we will determine your qualification based on the application you submit to us. (You must be a native-born English speaker and at least 22 years of age). Once we have confirmed to you, your program participation and session dates, and you have confirmed your commitment to us as a participant, you will be our guest! It is our way of “compensating” you for your 90+ hours of energy, creativity and your can-do attitude that makes our English language program a success for our Latin American clients.
Once confirmed you must make your own travel arrangements to our meeting point in Panama. Once you arrive the week-long program is free for you. This includes your transportation from the meeting point to the hotel in Boquete and return, your lodging, your meals (including full breakfast and 3-course lunch and dinner with wine), program excursions, socials and materials, and all taxes and gratuities. We also provide basic emergency medical coverage while you are on our program.
Your Commitment:
- To never utter a word of Spanish
- To talk in your own natural style of English
- To be considerate, sensitive, patient and supportive
- To arrange and finance your travel to and from Panama and accommodation as necessary prior to and at the conclusion of the program
- To attend and actively participate in each day’s activities during the program
- To be punctual at the meeting point and throughout the week
- To respect cultural differences and to be a responsible visitor to a fragile eco-system
