Description

Voluntary services are offered in the social sector. Help children with English lessons at school, sports lessons or after-school care.
The small organization from Cusco, Peru, has made it its mission to help children from extreme poverty. The aim is to give the children a better future by giving them access to education and a balanced diet. At the same time, they are given a safe and loving environment in which they can do their homework, play and learn new languages.
They have also started to work with the children’s mothers who want to improve the lives of their families.

The organization is looking for volunteers who would like to support the project over a longer period of time (min. 4 weeks). Previous knowledge of Spanish is not essential.

Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in Peru.

Peru is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.

Please note that in Peru all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.

In principle, no language course is mandatory in advance. However, depending on the volunteering program, certain levels of the language of your destination country may be required to complete the project. We would be happy to advise you individually on your chosen project.

Depending on the program, we work with host families in the vicinity or there are volunteer houses at the project site.

For all programs you have to be covered by foreign health insurance. We will be happy to help you find a suitable insurance policy.
