About Program
Volunteer in an orphanage at Peru and at the same time let get absorbed by the local culture, diverse nature, cuisine and pristine beaches.
In Peru, children from impoverished families and orphans who are at high personal risks live in orphanages which provide them with basic needs and education. But the orphanages lack sufficient funds and helping hands to cater to the children. As a volunteer, you will spend time with the children teaching English, Science, Mathematics and other creative activities. You will also get involved with the children, participating in games and play, taking care of them and helping out with homework. Make them feel loved with all the attention you give and help them grow into healthy, happy human beings in the future.
Make your travel meaningful, by spreading smiles, and at the meantime, not missing out on the beauty and splendor that lie in the Peruvian nature and heritage.
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. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
