Peru Volunteer Program

Description

The Global Volunteer Network currently has opportunities to work on a range of projects in Peru. Volunteers can become involved in childcare, teaching, construction, healthcare and conservation projects.



Volunteers may choose to work in the following areas:



Childcare: At childcare placements volunteers assist the children with their homework, organise educational activities and provide the children with love and attention. Volunteers can also work with street children at two shelters located in Cusco, helping with a feeding program and also teaching basic English.



Teaching English: At teaching English placements volunteers assist the full time teacher with speaking, listening, writing, reading, grammar, and vocabulary lessons. Volunteers may also be asked to help with specific learners in terms of their pronunciation and for one-on-one tutoring.



Construction: At construction projects volunteers assist with construction and/or renovation usually at a childcare project. Construction projects change all the time, but our partner organization is currently helping to build a new orphanage in Oropesa, near Cusco.



Healthcare: At healthcare projects volunteers work at a clinic which offers healthcare to low-income families. Volunteers work on a rotation system to assist and gain experience in different departments of the clinic.



Conservation: At conservation projects volunteers can work at a zoo in Cusco assisting with cleaning and feeding.
