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.
