Volunteers should be conversationalists who love meeting and talking with new people. They should also be able to guide a conversation and ensure that everyone has a chance to participate. Basic English class leaders should be able to follow a structured lesson plan but also be creative and open to coming up with ideas to respond to student questions/challenge areas.
Have the day to yourself to explore Trujillo or join us at the schools. Monday - Thursdays, in the evening you will lead classes - Conversation Classes are held Mondays and Wednesdays 7:30-9:00pm and Basic English Classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:00 - 8:30pm. On Fridays, participate in the volunteer meeting and prepare your lessons for the following week.
You can join the program anytime during the year except for December due to Christmas break.
In Peru, the magical Andes, the endless Amazon, and the vast Pacific Ocean blend to give us a plethora of reasons to venture, explore, and go further. In our Social Interaction Program, we plan activities that allow us to explore the marvelous and generous country that is Peru from a local perspective. Further, the money raised from these activities are used to fund our programs in the schools and surrounding communities.
The following are some activities that we regularly engage in:
Airport pickup and accommodation are included in the fees.
We provide pickup from the local airport or bus station upon your
arrival. If you would prefer to take a bus to Trujillo, we can arrange a
transfer from the airport in Lima to the bus station for an additional
cost.
Most volunteers stay at our Volunteer House (the Casa) in Trujillo which is a 10 minute walk from the city center. The house has hot water (a commodity in Peru), internet access, and kitchen facilities. Señora Carmen, the landlady, will help you practice your Spanish. We have found that having our volunteers live together makes for an enjoyable and cohesive experience.
We also offer the option of living in a homestay for the duration of your time volunteering with us. Most homestays will have internet access, kitchen facilities, lukewarm water and are located close to the city center. The price listed goes directly to the homestay.
