Volunteering is big business here some of the churches and NGO's are over $500.00 a week for the privilege of a north american to "volunteer". First how old is she, how good is her Spanish, what part of the country, what would she like to do? The easiest is to pay $100.00 a week for 15 hours of Spanish lessons and let the school arrange the volunteering. La Union in Antigua has "good" "volunteering" there is also an NGO school up at the lake that does multi day backpack camping trips and will throw is volunteering at their school for a reasonable price. I forget the name but it should be easy to google. the simple fact is 4 weeks is not enough time to interest a real volunteer program.

If she will be in Antigua Hermano Pedro Hospital is a great place to volunteer. No cost to the volunteer, no minimum time frame. I have friends that volunteer there when they are here in Antigua for 3 months at a time.
