April 02, 2025by: Shiya Huang - ChinaProgram: Working with Kids—Volunteer in Peru!Carmen and Rogelio´s homestay was very nice and enthusiastic. Their homecooked meals were GREAT!! I loved staying with them. In addition, the teachers from Niño Divino are very nice. They gave us goodbye gifts which touched my heart - the bread!! Also, the kids were so cute and everybody was nice. All in all, I LOVE THEM ALL!!!
Amazing week volunteering with our family
March 29, 2025by: Jessica Norcini - United StatesProgram: Working with Kids—Volunteer in Peru!Our family of 5 had the absolute best week volunteering with Maximo Nivel in Cusco Peru! Three of us worked in the preschool with children, while the other 2 worked at the zoo. Cusco is a fabulous city, and I can't recommend Maximo Nivel enough. They were wonderful in communicating before and during the project and in providing meaningful volunteer work. We loved our host stay experience as well. 10/10 recommend!

As my favourite saying goes, life is not meant to be lived in one place. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and be immersed into a culture completely different from the one back home in Canada.
