Help at our orphanage by giving love to our kids near Cusco, Peru

Volunteering at the project was an unforgettable experience. The kids are all kind and wonderful to interact with. The work involved lots of food prep, cleaning and helping out with the animals. We would get some downtime after lunch to spend doing whatever we'd like to do (go into town, play games with the kids, baking). Getting the opportunity to spend Christmas here was such a cool experience! I felt like we learned lots about the local culture, and truly felt like part of a family. Only recommendations for other travellers are to speak some Spanish before arriving and to bring some snacks.

We had a fantastic time at the project! It was so rewarding getting the opportunity to help look after all the kids and animals, as well it was awesome meeting other like-minded people from around the world. Would absolutely recommend this opportunity to anyone, it would be beneficial if you could speak Spanish

The location is 15min walk from the town of Oropesa. There is a bus that can be caught easily to and from Cusco for 3 Sols. This organisation does a great service and the children who are there were very happy and safe. There are always things to do and you will get the most out of the experience with the effort you put in. We were lucky to experience the local fair of the town and a visit from Cusco football club, which was a memorable day for the children. We met other likeminded travellers who volunteered and became fast friends.

Staying at the project was a life changing experience. The kids are amazing and the work was rewarding. You must be prepared to give a lot of your self here, which can be challenging at times. The work requirement says 5 hours per day but the expectation is going to be more than that. The volunteers meet quite early in the morning (6:45) to help with breakfast, and then aside from a few hours break after making lunch it's pretty busy until the kids go to sleep around 9pm. It's a lot of hours but breakfast, lunch, and dinner is provided. Overall it was great and we're considering coming back :)

It was one of the best experiences of my life. the project is a very special place. Dante, Vic and Senhor Alcides created a real family. The boys are amazing!! I learned a lot about Peruvian culture and life in general. I really hope I can come back one day!

My experience at the project was unforgettable. It was very hard to say goodbye. I felt like I was at home at the project. I developed friendships with the staff and kids very quickly. The kids forever have my heart. The boys at the project carry a special spirit with them. They are so full of love, gratitude and happiness. The work was very easy for me. We spend a lot of time cooking but the staff make it fun. Helping the boys with their homework helped me a lot with my Spanish. The rooms were very comfortable. The animals on the farm added joy and laughter to my day. From the farm there is a spectacul

The host is a place like no other. I only spent three weeks at the orphanage, but cannot even begin to describe how difficult it was to say goodbye. It was beyond incredible to witness the love between all children and adults, whilst getting to become a temporary part of this beautiful family. This truly was a unique and eye opening, once in a lifetime experience that I will forever be carrying near and dear to my heart; just like the kids. Muchas gracias por todo, the host. Los extrañaré a todos!

Hermosa experiencia que guardare por siempre! Los chicos del orfanato son los mas dulces y buenos del mundo! Alcides siempre estuvo presente, preguntando como nos sentimos y eso es lindo. el proyeto es un lugar en el que necesitan mucha ayuda a toda hora, así que tienes que poner mucho entusiasmo y esfuerzo durante casi todo el dia! Yo lo disfrute mucho, lleno de hermosos animales. Gracias a Vicky que es una hermosa persona que se ocupa mucho en que todo salga bien y que los niños estén bien! Gracias por todo ❤️
