Picaflor House Internship
by: Larissa Cimini - BrazilProgram: NGO Assistant Internship with UK CharityMy Globalteer experience in Peru has been wonderful and I totally recommend anyone who wants to make a difference volunteering in any of the projects. Everyone I have met is kind, lovely, welcoming, and really dedicated to the work, always trying to achieve the best for the kids and for the animals. Particularly, my work is as an NGO Assistant in the Picaflor House, an after-school program for poor and vulnerable children, and I could not be more positively impacted. The project really makes a d...
Amazing time in Peru with the dogs!
by: Evie Rollinson - EnglandProgram: Peru Dog Shelter VolunteeringI loved volunteering at the Dog's Shelter, you can see that the staff there love the dogs and put their needs first. It was so fun to play with them all, they're so cute and all just want to be loved! The volunteer house was great, I enjoyed meeting people from all around the world and everybody got along so well. There was a mixture of volunteers and Globalteer interns, so meeting the Globalteer staff was really nice too. Cusco is an amazing city, there is so much to do inside the city and in ...

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I frequently volunteered as a child, but my passion for volunteering really started when I moved to Lima, Peru as a Rotary International Youth Exchange Student. I loved participating in all of the Rotary meetings, fundraisers, medical campaigns, youth leadership conferences, and community projects. During my time in Lima, we helped over 500 Peruvians with disabilities gain access to wheelchairs. Working alongside Rotary made me realize the positive impact that individuals or groups can have on a community. It also fueled my passion for other languages and cultures, in particular the Peruvian culture which had welcomed me with such love. Globalteer’s projects are exactly the kind of sustainable and responsible initiatives that I enjoy supporting, so I was thrilled when I was able to join the team.

My friend told me that whilst travelling I should give something back (I listen to most things she says!). So, I went online, found Globalteer, and fancied a go at sports volunteering; an opportunity and experience I will never forget!
