Volunteer with Public Health Project in Peru

Through Vivé Peru I was able to receive irreplaceable public health experience and personal development while living in Peru. I learned so much about community health and culture that I am so grateful for!

The public health program of Vive Peru focused on Señor de Los Milagros, a Community here in Trujillo that with Vive Peru's help has reversed the growing health problems in their population through education and community involvement. Through home visits and workshops with community leaders, we became very involved with the people there, were made to feel very at home and like the work we were doing was really having an impact.

Had such a great time! Wasn’t sure what to expect but it definitely exceeded my expectations! The welcome activities were super fun and the group was awesome. The coordinators are very helpful and fun too. We did a lot of work in the community and the kids are great. It’s very eye opening to see the differences between the US and Peru. It was also interesting to learn about the Peruvian health care system and how the way they do it here. So happy I chose to do this program and definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the health care field or learning about other cultures!
