Over het programma

Volunteers will have time to organize creative and recreational activities, take the patients for walks, and help the nurses with serving meals. All of the children are from severely underprivileged homes. Therefore, the children stay at the homecare day and night, where parents and family can come to visit them.

The children at the project require a lot of care, attention and most importantly, companionship and love. Since the children with physical and mental disabilities don't have access to the care they need, they often remain completely dependent on their families for the duration of their lives.

Volunteer tasks:

  • Recreational activities (yoga, music, arts, crafts)
  • Helping children with homework
  • Playing, dancing, painting, and singing with the children
  • Helping with day-to-day tasks at an institution
  • Building up the self-esteem and confidence of the children
Volunteers can provide a positive influence in the homecare providing a resource that they would otherwise not have access to, you can give people with disabilities a chance to gain the confidence and skills they need to grow into independent adults.

Afhaal aan de luchthaven op Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport

We pick volunteers up from Cusco airport and transfer them to their accommodations. Flight information needs to be sent to us prior arrival in Perú.

Accomodatie

Volunteers will stay in a homestay where they will live with a local family. Volunteers can expect to share a room with one or two other. We highly recommend staying with a family; that way you will also learn the Peruvian way of life, meet local people, eat typical food, speak the language (Spanish) and engage in local customs and traditions.

Volunteers will be sharing bathroom and common areas with other volunteers and members of the family.

Eten & Drank

2 meals are included (breakfast and dinner). Volunteers can expect to experience a variety of flavors and meals during their experience as Peruvian food is diverse. We will be glad to let the family know if you have special eating needs. Please let us know ahead of time so that we can make arrangements for you.

Over de organisatie

Peru Volunteer and Travel is a Peruvian based organization, who really want to make a change. That is why we have created the most affordable, and life-changing programs.

Ontmoet je organisatie

Peru Volunteer and Travel was founded in 2011, and is a leading organization in volunteer and internship abroad. We have a dedicated, multilingual team available 24/7 to support and care for our volunteers, we strive to set ourselves apart by providing a top-notch client service and great home base facilities.
As a Peruvian based organization, we personally know the reality from all of our projects and we know which volunteer projects really need help from volunteers and we place our volunteers in these places so that you feel needed and satisfied.
During your volunteer placement you will always have support close at hand by our Coordinators.

Whether you will be working in childcare or a medical placement, teaching English, or any other program with us, you will be making a difference in the poor Peruvian reality. You will interact with poor, disabled, and sad children whose faces light up when they see you come to help them. The adults will make you feel welcome and will be extremely thankful for your help. It will be a once in a lifetime experience that you will never forget.

Our principal goal is to be one of the organizations that works with the neediest people in Peru in order to try to change their lives for the better. But, of course, we need the help of our volunteers. That is why we make sure to offer quality, safe, and affordable programs for our volunteers and travelers.
We can maintain low prices and high quality programs because we are the creators of our volunteer programs in Peru. We are the in-country coordinators for many other organizations, our main office is in Peru, and our programs are considered the best ones there are!

2024 at Childcare Center

I thought volunteering is a duty: if we can do something good, if we can help somewhere then we must do it. However, after spending a month living as a Cusqueña, I realized that it is a privilege. It is a privilege to be part of the daily life in a daycare, to watch the children learn new words, ...
