Do I have to know Spanish volunteering for Vive Mexico


Do I have to know Spanish volunteering for Vive Mexico?
I'm willing take part in a work camp with kids in Peru with VIVE MEXICO. The official language of the camp is English and Spanish is just "recommended", but since I have to work with kids I was wondering how I'm supposed to deal with them if my knowledge of Spanish is quite little. What would you suggest?

I would suggest that you do some other volunteer work that you are better qualified to do. You are absolutely right. How can you work with kids if you can't even speak their language? I am surprised the organization even permits non-Spanish-speakers to go at all.
