The Peruvian Experience.
January 16, 2026by: Iman Sharifi - United StatesI was recently in Peru during the end of December and beginning of January for 2 weeks. I was able to experience the rich culture, kind people, and different living conditions of Trujillo, Peru. I was also observing medical clinics/hospitals daily. The staff of the program were very helpful, structured, and kind. My home stay was amazing as well (and probably my favorite part because of the Peruvian food). All in all it was a 10/10 experience.
Great volunteer opportunity
August 31, 2024by: Montez Cruz - United StatesIt is a great experience to learn about the culture, improve your Spanish, acquire medical knowledge, and meet amazing people. I loved that I got over my fear of speaking Spanish and spoke to the locals.
Great experience
