Peru Volunteer and Travels is a Peruvian based organization, we personally know the reality from all of our projects and we know which volunteer projects really need help from volunteers and we place our volunteers in these places so that you feel needed and satisfied.

We are grateful to welcome volunteers that want to work at the local school in Sport Education  located in Cusco, at the Peruvian Andes. The Sport Education program consists of volunteers working in local schools to improve children's knowledge of sports and teaching foreign sports and games to the children. They also educate children on general fitness, health and wellbeing in addition to their regular lessons at the school. It is up to the volunteer to plan lessons and design the teaching of their sport program.

Volunteer tasks:

• Recreational activities
  
• Assisting teachers in preparing sports classes
• Teaching students about new sports
• Assisting and participating in sports training, competitions and school events
• Supervising children during recess and lunch
• Building up the self-esteem and confidence of the children

Children are extremely enthusiastic and willing to learn. While soccer is extremely popular in Peru, many volunteers have found it rewarding to teach children different sports (or popular sports from the volunteer's home country). If a volunteer wishes to do this, they must plan ahead and often must bring the required materials and equipment themselves, as it is highly likely they will not be available in local stores and shopping centers here.

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 3000 students. They do not get a lot of help from the government, so all support is appreciated. The kids at the schools come from low income families.
