Activities with kids in an orphanage in Ayacucho
May 7 - May 26, 2008
The project aims to implement an integral program for the life and work conditions of the kids and the young people at risk; to promote their development, protection, vigilance of the kids' rights and to contribute to the politics' social offers. If you are open minded and flexible, you will enjoy your experience.
The volunteer work will depend on the skills of the international volunteers, their interests, their specialties, but in general, here are the planned activities:
- To work with kids at the zone where they develop their work. To develop an education program to help youth.
- To develop workshops with the kids. To impulse the workshops training.
- Workshops with families. To implement workshops like handicraft, bakery, music, dance, and paint workshops.
Spare time activities and interaction with local people: In the workcamps a high interaction with the local population is encouraged, volunteers will share time, work and fun with the local youngsters of the communities and will learn about their way of living, their feelings, the way they see life and also will share with them in an intercultural exchange, very enriching for everybody involved, and also will discover some of the hidden places of Peru not known by tourists. These places are known only by the local people and every week the volunteers with the camp leader will organize spare time activities with the local youngsters.
In the workcamps it is possible to organize circles of conversation in Spanish with local youngsters, with the objective to help the international volunteers to learn Spanish and Quechua and also to share with the Peruvian youngsters your knowledge of English or your native language.
Camp language: Official language is English, but at least a basic knowledge of Spanish is recommended, as in Ayacucho most of the people in the community do not speak English.
