Asociacion Pop-Wuj, set in the Highlands of Guatemala, is a collectively owned and operated Spanish school that has been serving an international crowd of students since the immersion program began in 1992. It takes its name from the title of the great epic saga of the Maya-Quiché people, Pop Wuj (The Book of Time). Through a unique mix of intensive language study and social service projects, students come to a better understanding of the political, social, and cultural realities of Guatemala, while contributing to a better way of life for families in the rural areas surrounding Quetzaltenango.
