Description

We do a social voluntary direct job, without middlemen, in populations and human groups where there is no presence of other organizations; where you find a greater quantity of children and adults in need of support, in a place where in normally does not arrive.

In the year 2009, we initiated the project "the magical house", directed to the children that live in and belong to one of the poorest zones of Huancayo. In this area, water supply, utilities, and drainage are insufficient; the infantile malnutrition is generalized, many of the children are orphaned, while others work to help their families, neglecting their education. Many are left alone while his/her parents are out working.

We helped to change this situation, not only in the material aspect, also, giving a new motivation to the children, accompanying them, attentively and showing them affection.

They will be able to see the future with optimism, with bigger force to face life and its challenges, and at the same time teaching them unity and solidarity.

The Magical House

"Volunteer work with Children"

There are many children with desires to play with you and share in some special moments.

This is a project where the Volunteer will be able to interact directly with the children, teaching them various responsibilities, helping in their education. Accompany them by helping to reinforce his/her self-esteem and give strength to their motivation. Work with many enthusiasts and with children starting at the tender age of 5 to 12 years.

They learn in an entertaining way, useful lessons for their future, without having to leave the innocence of being a child, in an environment filled with peace, love and tolerance, where we can all learn through playing.

Activities: These are some of the activities that you can accomplish with the children:

* Art in Paper Form
* Crafts
* Peruvian and global culture
* Drawing and Painting
* Theater and Acting
* Photography
* Music, Dances of Peru and of the World
* Pastry and Bakery, Candy and Chocolates
* Moral Values and Self-esteem
* Cleanliness and Nutrition
* Ecology and Recycling
* Tolerance and Social Co-habitation
* Sports
* Recreational Games

Accompaniment and Tutorship:

This is an activity in which the children establish friendships and in which they are taught the abilities needed to be able to confront the problems and challenges that may surface in life; It helps them to discover the many possibilities and opportunities in terms of dealing with the difficulties in life. You are more than a tutor - you are a friend, developing positive relations that have a true impact on the children and their futures.
It is a important to the children to have positive influences, to help them succeed in life!

Sharing dreams-Peru's Mission Statement

One of our primary objectives is to positively impact the lives of children in the poorest communities in Huancayo and Peru, providing them with support, both material and emotional, and helping them to develop the skills they need to achieve success in their lives. We wish to promote cultural exchange between our volunteers and the local community and to provide our volunteers with an opportunity to have a genuine effect on the lives of people in Huancayo (and eventually in other parts of Peru) by working directly with them. Volunteers have much freedom in creating programs to suit their individual strengths and talents. We wish to foster sustainable economic, social, environmental, and educational development in the poorest populations and social groups in Peru. Additionally, we aspire to create greater ecological consciousness in order to protect our environment and biodiversity and to protect and promote the rich cultural inheritance of Peru.
