"Don't ask what
the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because
what the world needs is people who have come alive." Howard Thurman
Proyecto Peru offers
a volunteer programme for those participants who complete a minimum of
1 week of Spanish and want to work in different areas around Cusco. The
required level of Spanish depends on the project you choose.
Volunteers in Proyecto Peru have a chance to learn a new language, live
in another culture, develop career and leadership skills and create a
better world.
Proyecto
Peru considers how to use cultural diversity and communications as effectively
as possible in the volunteer programmes.
Through volunteering,
you give and you receive. The chance to make a real difference in other
people's lives is the reason most volunteers choose Proyecto Peru. The
centre simply offers a place for people to contribute to positive change
by cultivating the spirit of service in their lives.
PROYECTO PERU VOLUNTEER PROJECTS
The kind of projects we offer are as follows:
Projects with children
Preschool and kindergarten children attend classes in their own schools
on campus, and enjoy organized arts and crafts activities. By helping
them with their school work, and sharing your special talents in music
or other creative arts a few hours each day, you can stimulate and encourage
their development.
Projects with secondary students
In Public Schools
The volunteer works in schools in less developed areas around Cusco. Volunteers
are expected to help teachers as classroom assistants, especially teaching
English and sports, but also organizing creative activities and playing
with the students in the playground. The schools lack many materials and
this makes the work quite challenging. All of this interaction will help
improve your Spanish.
In Proyecto Perú centre
In Cusco, there are many people living in poverty who don´t have
an opportunity to provide proper education for their children. Our purpose
is to help these children (from 9 to 17 years old) by encouraging them
to learn English. The lessons will be developed and taught in our centre.
Teaching Sports
This includes football and volleyball coaching in public schools.
If you like playing football, volleyball and working and playing sports
in the sun, this is the perfect project for you!
By running training sessions and organizing matches, you will give young
players in the school a chance to enjoy the game and be a part of a structured
team.
Workshops
Workshops will be given to volunteers by specialized teachers to train
them for their volunteer work projects (dental hygiene, painting, how
to teach, etc.).
Volunteer Monitoring
Throughout the project, the coordinator will help volunteers by regularly
visiting them and monitoring their progress. We are always willing to
support volunteers by answering questions and providing the best advice
on fundraising and other issues such as health, culture, excursions, safety,
travel and special events
