Volunteer Programs in Trujillo, Peru

I 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.

Peru has been the ideal place to feel comfortable and safe, whilst having such a different cultural experience, seeing things so differently from how people see things at home. The people are the most hospitable I have ever met and don’t seem to mind where you come from, they just love sharing with everyone and are super friendly. The kids are rewarding when doing work with them and they find it a novelty having an experience with someone from a different country so are some of the most engaging kids I’ve worked with. You will leave feeling so much more grateful for the world and communities around you, because the community culture and work here really leaves an impact for both sides.
