I volunteered for one month in April 2025. It has been an amazing experience. Bernabé, Ingrid and their team have been very welcoming, always around to help, and are very warm and friendly people to be with. The volunteer accommodation has a kitchen and cozy living room. This experience has offered me an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of rural Peruvian culture, as well as some of the difficulties that some of the local vulnerable communities face in everyday life. I also had time to explore the surrounding natural beauty, and improved my Spanish.

Bernabe (the manager of this project) was really helpful from the first day until the last days. The projects are sometimes a bit hard mentally but it's really rewarding at the end.

Greatly enjoyed my month with the organization! The team was very accommodating and flexible with my interests and needs and helped me settle in smoothly. I felt I had plenty of time to explore the city and its beautiful surroundings, and learned a lot about the organization's healthcare while helping at the clinic. Although I came as a medical volunteer, all the volunteers help with project Casa with the kids, which was so fun and fulfilling. I would highly recommend working with the organization to anyone looking for an authentic experience of living in the organization!
