Volunteer in Peru with a UK Charity

I volunteered with Picaflor House in November 2018 for couple of weeks. I’ve never done an abroad volunteer program before so i had my doubts and hundreds of questions. Globalteer team put children into their heart and they direct you accordingly during your volunteer program. They answer each and every question with patience. The kids are amazing, teachers are so helpful and everything is so well organized that you don’t have anything to worry about. Cusco itself is a lovely city that I enjoyed a lot. I can’t stop talking & thinking about this amazing experience I had! Wish others would also find the opportunity and be as lucky as I am to have such an amazing experience! Thanks much for this great experience

I made some wonderful friends that I'm still in contact with, the children never failed to make me smile even when I missed home - and Peru is a beautiful country with such lovely people. The Project Manager was amazing, I had a few problems during my stay and she sorted them quickly for me. Globalteer’s Development Manager was also very helpful, preparing lessons and assisting in the lessons amongst other things. The Picaflor House Manager was great, always smiling and helping me with my Spanish. Generally, the other volunteers were like-minded people who I made friends with and remain in contact with. I would definitely recommend Globalteer to anyone. They were professional and supportive throughout. Their staff are lovely and really helped me out. I also like the fact that a lot of the money goes towards the project. You can see where your money goes and how much the kids appreciate the program. If you’re on the fence and not quite sure then take my advice and go for it. It was the best thing I've ever done. I met amazing people and had a great time and I felt I made a difference to the children's lives. Please tell my story to as many people as you can and get more volunteers to the projects!

I had a wonderful time visiting the project near Cusco, Peru. The children are happy to be there, as is the staff and other volunteers. I was involved in English, arts, games, and kindergarten classes and felt that I truly made a difference to the children's learning experience. The lunch programme seems to be very popular and the kids were eager to see what was on the menu every day! Globalteer was very helpful with every aspect of my volunteer application and helped me settle into Cusco life. I loved volunteering at the Peru Community Project and would highly recommend Globalteer.

All the staff at the project are doing an amazing job and you can tell the project is making a real difference and impact in the community. The kids at the project are great, always so excited and welcoming of new volunteers and even when there is a language barrier this does not stop them finding ways to interact and communicate with volunteers. It is impossible not to be happy while at the project, as the kids happiest is just infectious. In addition to the project being fantastic, Peru & Cusco itself are just amazing - with the most lovely people and so much to do in your free time!

This project is doing wonderful things for its community in Peru. The kids love attending the after-school program, and you can see it on their faces as soon as they walk in the door! They love meeting all of the new volunteers and are eager to participate and learn! The staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. My favorite memory was getting to participate in a day of fun and games during Halloween. We did activities normally practiced int he USA during Halloween like bobbing for apples, and the kids had an absolute blast! All the while they were happy to practice their English with all of the volunteers and staff. Peru is an amazing place, and getting to participate at this project is an amazing experience no one will ever forget!

I volunteered in Cusco for 4 weeks and it was an amazing experience in an amazing city at an awesome project. I could't recommend it enough, the staff were great and kids were amazing. We helped out the local and foreign staff in arts, English classes, sports and games. The kids are given nutritional food to ensure they are healthy and education to help them in their futures. Cusco is a great place to volunteer with so much to do and see and Globalteer really helped the culture shock by being there for me in Cusco.
