 But I wanted to mention it because it's on it's in South America Where these sorts of programs are still kind of rare? But this is the EODP program in Chile, which is the English Opens doors program And I have to say it's currently suspended. Unfortunately. That's why I put this disclaimer here It's currently suspended due to COVID. So if that's something you're interested in just keep checking the website Here's centro de voluntarios.cl And keep checking the website regularly. I think they're not doing it in 2021 this whole year But they might you know start doing it again for next year. So then you can jump on the wagon then But yeah, the English Open Stores program is sponsored by the Chilean Ministry of Education and the United Nations Development Program Its objective is to improve the level of English of the students from fifth grade to fourth grade in high school So students aged between 13 and 18 years of age The requirements for this program you need to be between the ages of 21 and 35 So that's a little bit narrow there You also need to be a native or a near native English speaker. You need to have a bachelor's degree And what's also important is that you need to have sufficient funds to basically Get you through the program from start to finish because it's more of a volunteer program You do get money, but it's not much especially if you do want to travel and explore the region It's not gonna be enough so they want to make sure that you come to Chile that you have enough money to You know get through it For your cost of living there So let's talk about the pay and benefits of this program in Chile. So all meals are included in the program You have a week long orientation course at the beginning in Santiago. You get free transportation within Chile, which is really cool I believe you get issued like some sort of Transportation card you can use you get free health insurance. You also get a free online Spanish course There's no visa fee and here. This is the allowance that you get. So currently you get an allowance of 100,000 Is a Chilean pesos for each month of completed service So depending on how long you stay. Oh, and this is currently around 135 US dollars so per month But typically they would pay this at the end of your experience So once you've completed all the months then at the end you would get the money But I also read some schools or some organizations depending on where you work. They pay every other month So that depends apparently so check that out ask them on the website get in touch with them and Yeah, also all housing costs are covered if you choose the home stay option and Yeah, home stay means you would stay with a local family there Which can be a really fun and interesting experience, right living with a local family. I think that's really fun So, yeah, this is the English open stores program in Chile in South America Currently suspended because of COVID But I still wanted to mention it because it's the only program of this kind in South America And so yeah, it looks like they're probably going to pick it up again I assume it's probably for next year.
