La Unión receives each year a large number of groups that come to Guatemala to Study Spanish but also to help the communities doing Volunteer work. In collaboration with our Canadian partner Horizon Cosmopolite, on October 31st, we received Collège Ste-Anne, a secondary school from Montreal Canada.
