	This placement would suit... Lattitude placements suit individuals with a can-do attitude who are willing to make the most of their placement and above all enjoy it. If you are really keen to work with children, this placement is ideal for you. Caring placements are in an institute for children who are unable to be looked after by their parents. There are many children from one family as they do not want to split the families up. The children range from babies to 16 years old. The older children living in the house do all the housework and look after the children. There is a very strong community atmosphere in the centre and you soon become one of the family. All the volunteers who have been there have loved it and don’t want to leave! However, as it can be expected, these placements are tougher and more demanding than other, and not for the faint hearted. Locations Lattitude teaching placements are nearly all in the west of the country, never far from the Andes. They stretch from Salta in the north, close to the Bolivian border, to Neuquen in the south, the largest city of Argentine Patagonia, and going eastwards to Buenos Aires and Cordoba. Skills required A good level of Spanish is necessary for this rewarding work. The nature of the work requires Volunteers to have a good command of conversational Spanish – a minimum of UK GCSE standard. However if you have no Spanish but are willing to learn, you may also be considered. 0845 344 7500 Lattitude Global Volunteering is a charity specialising in Volunteering for 17- 25 year olds.
