Volunteering With Marketing Skills..?

[Alichee]

Hello everyone,

In October I am packing my suitcase (or rucksack, I haven't decided yet), leaving my job in international marketing in Germany and heading to South America on a new adventure. First stop Buenos Aires. My main aim is to do a course and learn Spanish (or at least be able to understand a conversation), but would love to volunteer along the way.
Does anyone know of any charities either in BsAs or further afield where I don't have to pay a fortune to "volunteer" and I can use my experience in marketing for a good cause?
I'd be grateful for any advice! Thanks!
