Volunteer Projects in Peru

This is a home for boys from 6 to 17 years of age. These boys found themselves in serious risk or abandonment, and most of them are orphans. As these children were in serious risk, the program of padrinazgo was started. This enables people from Peru and abroad to sponsor a child and help with his education, or come every so often to take them out. They have a nice building with a games room, a sickbay, a little chapel (although there is no priest to celebrate the mass), they also have a little garden, made by a volunteer, where they grow different vegetables and plants, some of which are used to feed the guinea pigs that they raise. Different workshops are held, such as carpentry, shoemaking, tailoring, and baking, however they need materials such as glue, wood, and also people who can teach the children different trades.

Helping with homework, taking them out to play, teaching English or teaching them some trade like carpentry, bakery, drawing, etc

Enthusiasm, self motivation.
