“If you work for Education Plus you have to be aware of the fact that you have huge responsibilities. If you are willing to really get involved, to work hard and to make a change, you will see the full impact the project has on the kids, because YOU made it possible. So if you decide to volunteer with Education Plus, consider it as a real “job”. Trust me, it will be worth it, because once you see these kids smile, you will never forget it.” – Leonie, Germany

And above all you will discover the richness of knowing a new culture and a new way of life where every day is an experience of survival.
Most volunteers choose to live in the colonial center of the city of Granada. Volunteers can live on as little as $200 per month, depending on lodging choice, however we recommend budgeting at least $400 a month if you want to travel and go out. Rents in Granada range from $60 – $400+ per month. It is a 20 cord ($0.60) taxi ride or a 15 minute bike ride from Granada to the project. Granada is located approximately 45 minutes from the capital of Managua, 2 hours from the beach and 3 hours from the Costa Rica border.[/rescue_box]
