Local children are able to attend school, considering Trujillo’s public school system. But the quality of education, especially arts, is low and limited. And while a study has shown the importance of extracurricular activities in preventing involvement with gangs and crime among at-risk kids, the lack of funds makes it almost impossible for public schools to sustain music programs. As a result, only a few children or adults have the privilege to learn to play an instrument, and a huge percentage of the population has little to no knowledge of classical music.

Nothing like what I expected, better than I could have ever imagined
June 20, 2018by: Abbey - United StatesProgram: Teach Children Music in PeruI loved my experience with VivePeru. When I was initially terrified, alone, and uncertain, the program staff went out of the way to make all of the volunteers feel welcome. We quickly bonded, becoming fast friends excited to explore Peru. The program maintained a good balance between volunteer commitments during the week and free weekends to travel, explore, and more. The staff go out of their way to help you engage in activities that interest you, and are willing to help you with anything. The volunteer work, though not what I expected, was more meaningful than I could have ever imagined. My only regret is wishing I could stay longer!
