Please address your reply to Thomas and describe your interest in teaching and living in Colombia. I started the program a while back, traveled around Colombia for a couple of years, then set up a website and a US-based NGO to connect you with wonderful teachers in Colombia who would love to host you and share cultures and education experiences. As a volunteer, your reward comes from connecting with the Colombian people.
