Construction Programs—Volunteer in Peru!

I came to Cusco, Peru with Maximo Nivel to volunteer in Construction. I spent my week here painting a beautiful little school that's currently being built by Volunteers and funded by Maximo too. I don't think I've ever painted so much, but it was such an amazing, fulfilling experience! I had amazing support from the International team at Maximo, and I got the best experience ever!

I wanted to experience Peru, know what it was like to be a local, make a difference in the community, and that is exactly what I was able to do. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. I couldn't've imagined a better experience.

I did construction volunteering in Peru with Maximo Nivel. The experience was incredible in every way. I stayed for the five day duration with the host family who ran the school to help the youth in the poorer neighborhoods. I was fortunate that we had our own small apartment for my family of four which gave us a nice space to decompress at the end of the day. The host family served us breakfast and dinner daily and I treasured our time with them. We got to share our cultures, experiences, and lives and made great friends. They are amazing people who volunteer so much to their school project. The volunteer work was difficult and very rewarding. They always need more help improving the school for the children and I would highly recommend it to anyone. My children of nine and fourteen years old were able to participate and we all felt so happy that we could help. I´ve made lifelong friends and will definitely be staying in touch with them and asking after the school.
