PERU / Global Vision International
Volunteers will be teaching children in the ‘pueblos jovenes’ or ‘young towns’ that surround the beautiful colonial city of Arequipa. A range of subjects are taught, including basic literacy and numeracy. These long-term placements are very beneficial for the childrens’ development because they give them much needed continuity. As this GVI program runs in conjunction with the communities, volunteers will also help in the running of educational reinforcement programs, and assist at understaffed schools.
Every 3 months, two weeks break is scheduled so volunteers have an opportunity to relax or travel around Peru and other areas of South America. To help you make the most of your time on the program, there are additional opportunities available; such as 40 hours of one-on-one Spanish classes as well as adventure activities including a three-day hiking trip to the Colca Canyon to see Condors, a mountain bike trip to Chachani and a guided trip to Salinas Salt Plain.
