About Program
AYNI focuses its initiatives in two major areas, sustainable development and education. The organization works together with the community of Alto de los More to alleviate or address some of the major barriers of living in extreme poverty. What started out as an individual attempt at impacting positive change in one part of the planet, quickly turned into a grassroots group of dedicated volunteers from around the Globe. Volunteers take on many roles with Ayni, including teacher, social worker, community developer. The school semesters in Peru run from April-July and from August -December and it is preferred volunteers stay for at least a full semester, or a minimum of 3 months if this is not possible. Volunteers should have functional Spanish speaking skills.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger.
