Hank Brand, student 10 weeks, 2008

Juan Sisay has taught me much more than just Spanish. It is a cultural learning center that has allowed me to recieve an in-depth understanding of Guatemalan culture and the contemperary issues that face many of the countries most vulnerable populations. The language and skill sets that I learned in Xela and at Juan Sisay have allowed me to further my studies in Guatemala, undertaking a project examining the Efficacy of Western Medicine within the country.

Juan Sisay is more than a school - it is a home.

I would not be doing what I am doing today if it were not for my time at Juan Sisay, and if it were not for Juan Sisay I would not have the friends that I have today. It has made me a better person.
