At Peru Volunteer
and Travel we really want to make a change. That is why we have created the
most affordable, fun and life-changing volunteer programs.
Many artists work in and around Cusco, who make colorful and
beautiful Art. Art is also part of the curriculum in local schools.
As a volunteer, you can assist the Art Teacher in a public
school in Cusco. The frequency of Art classes in the curriculum is not high.
Help organizing the lessons, hand out material, walk around and try to assist
the students in their efforts.
Volunteer will be placed in projects
including primary or secondary public schools. This is a school for children
from 6 to 16 years old from poor neighborhood. The school is close to the city
center and attends about 300 students. They do not get a lot of help from the
government, so all support is appreciated.
Your tasks:
Art has to be a strong passion for you. If your level of
Spanish allows it, you may also construct small group sessions on your own. Volunteer may be required to help teaching other classes
(such as Math or Spanish) to complete their volunteer day.
Volunteer can organize extra activities like:
- Recreational activities
- Helping
children with homework
- Playing, dancing, painting, and singing with
the children
- Helping with day-to-day tasks at an
institution
- Building up the self-esteem and confidence of
the children
