Fun, Efficient and Valuable Volunteer Opportunity

The CCS staff in Lima was supportive and fun. I worked with an elderly community center, Los Martincitos, in the shantytowns. In addition to spending time with the folks and cooking traditional Peruvian meals, the highlight of the experience was going on house visits with Sister Jacqui. These firsthand experiences with the families who lived in Villa el Salvador gave me and my fellow volunteers deep insight into the community and everyday life. The program also had sun social activities with the group and I formed a couple friends for life! We had time to travel to Ica and Huacachina on the weekend and I traveled to Cusco/Machu Picchu after the program. A great program for those looking for something short where meals, lodging, placement, etc. are taken care of.
