Orphanage Volunteer

I participated in this volunteer program for 2 weeks in Peru, as a 16-year-old by myself.

The reason why I chose this program is that this was flexible in choosing the volunteer dates and length. (You can choose from one week to a month)

In volunteering abroad, although I felt unsafe sometimes, I could learn a lot of things that I definitely couldn't gain from my home country. Volunteering at the orphanage made me think deeply about how I could help or support them from the outside and make them happy. Also, going to a foreign country by myself allowed me to be independent and strong as a person in many ways. If you are feeling worried about going to volunteer abroad by yourself, especially if you are in high school, I was also worried, and I won't say that it was easy, but just go, experience, enjoy, and learn. This is the place where you can pursue your desires.
