Volunteer Abroad in Peru: Volunteering Opportunities
Volunteer Abroad in Peru:
The third largest country in South America, it shares borders with
Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil, Bolivia and also Chile. A large mountainous
country on the Pacific coast of South America, Peru offers a range of choices for a visitor.
The
Inca Empire, with Lake Titiaca, Cuzco and Machu Picchu, the Andes,
Amazonian rainforests, cloud people, coastal wildlife preserves and
cosmopolitan cities are just some reasons to visit Peru.
Although in recent years Peru has benefited from a rise in tourism offer some economic relief, millions of Peruvians
live below the poverty line. More than half of the country's people
struggle to survive, close to one fourth of the population live in
extreme poverty.
This
is a great opportunity to make life-long friends, learn a foreign
language and discover that one person really can make a difference.
"Service is the very purpose of life. It is the rent we pay for living on the planet." -Marian Edelman.
