Hotbox Events and Hotbox Events' sister company Hotbox Studios Ltd are sponsoring Rosalind (Roz) Clarke who is sacrificing her cosy UK Christmas and New Year to volunteer with the Global Volunteer Network in Panama.

The Panama projects Roz has volunteered to work with (more info below) are located in the valley of Boquete, and in the city of David. Boquete is situated in the western highlands of Panama, nestled amongst the country's most mountainous region this peaceful town is situated between the Caldera River and Baru Volcano. Boquete is a very safe place and has a large expatriate community of North Americans and Europeans. The city of David is located roughly 45 minutes away from Boquete and is the second largest city in Panama. David is situated on gently rolling plains about half way between the Pacific Ocean to the south and the Cordillera Talamanca Highlands to the North.

Roz will be teaching English in the community of Boquete to both adults and younger students. The teaching and reading is done one-on-one or in small groups.
