Support underprivileged kids while immersing in Peruvian culture

Australia

I had a fantastic experience with the organization and would definitely recommend. The kids are full of love and excited to learn, creating a wholesome and fulfilling experience. In the morning you assist with a separate chosen program (eg the young mothers), allowing for flexibility. Ingrid, Bernabe, Alvero, and Ian are lovely and very welcoming. Would recommend basic Spanish, but it is doable with near no Spanish (you have to be ready to learn quickly). I would l recommend this for anyone looking to give back and assist underprivileged sects of society with a grassroots locally-based organisation.

My experience with the organization was fantastic. I had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the local culture and get to know the Huancayo way of life. The city feels very safe, and it was amazing to see what real life looks like in the Peruvian Andes. As for working with the kids, it couldn't have been more rewarding. They are the most loving and adorable children, and it was an immense pleasure to spend time with them, helping with their homework, doing fun activities, and playing together.

Bernabe and Ingrid took great care of us and we had autonomy on how we would like to work on projects that we were assigned. The whole programme is organised and you truly interact and work with local communities. The volunteer house was nice and communication with the organization was always clear and swift. Thank you so much for the experience!

We spent two weeks with the team at the organization! Although it went by very quickly, we really enjoyed our time. Bernabe, Ingrid and Alvaro made us feel very welcome and we were very comfortable in the shared accommodation. The CASA project has the foundations to build something very valuable within the local community, it was great to see how much it grew just in our two weeks. We hope it continues to thrive with more volunteers and resources! Thanks for a great experience!

My partner and I spent two weeks at the organization. It was great to meet other volunteers and have a positive impact on the project and the community. We enjoyed working with the kids, especially at the CASA project. Everyone involved was super accommodating and happy to make our experience a great one. Although we enjoyed practising our Spanish in the classroom and with our hosts. I would recommend that you have a some confidence in this area as at times it become quiet challenging. Overall a wholesome and memorable experience. Thanks Bernebé, Ingrid and Alvaro.

I highly recommend this volunteer experience for anyone looking to make a positive impact in a community in need. I worked on three projects: assisting children with homework, providing support and activities for the elderly, and developing physical activities for adolescent mothers, always with help from a permanent volunteer. And the NGO, led by Bernabe, provided valuable support and cultural immersion. However, I suggest reconsidering the $150 fee, as food and transport are extra costs, and clarifying in the ad that there are no private rooms and that volunteers work not only with children.

I conquered marathons But not yet Machu Picchu I stand 3,271 Meters above sea level But not yet Machu Picchu I saw the true joy and happiness But not yet Machu Picchu No! I think I had already been much higher than the Machu Picchu. Because my dear the organization family(Huancayo), you are my new altitude!❤️❤️❤️

I spent 3 human and intensive weeks within the organization association. I was able to meet incredible international volunteers who supported me with education and kindness. The missions were very interesting and I loved being in contact with the locals who left a mark in my heart forever. The apartment and shared accommodation were very pleasant. The management organized a farewell party for me, which really touched me. I recommend

Lohana is a very proactive, sensitive and kind person. She was in the Casa project and the elderly project. She helped in many ways: homework, home visits, sports and art workshops and above all giving a lot of attention and affection to those who need it.
Thanks for everything, Lohana.

Bernabe, Ingrid and the whole team made us feel very welcome at the organization. It's a real worth while project that the locals get great value from. The setup is great it just needs more people and more money to do more good for the local community. We gained a lot of knowledge about the local situation and helped us understand the country more than before. Thanks to all involved. Andy and Ingrid
