Volunteer with Global Aware - Care for Cuzco

Volunteer abroad in Cusco, the enchanting ‘belly button’ of the Inca civilization and the main doorway to Machu Picchu - one of the world’s greatest wonders. With its narrow, cobblestone streets, Inca stonework, and women in ancient dress, you will forget you are living in the 21st century. But the real charm and the challenge come from the orphans with whom you will be working. Globe Aware offers diverse opportunities to volunteer in Cuzco, including working in a home for impoverished children from rural households. Many of these kids come from families who are too poor to care for them. Without this home or "albergue," these children would have no educational opportunities. Other service vacation projects include improvements and maintenance to facilities, such as painting classroo...

Fulfilling experience
by: Polina - United StatesProgram: Volunteer with Global Aware - Care for CuzcoThe Globe Aware program in Cuzco, Peru was one of the most fulfilling, giving, and inspiring trips that I have taken, and I've visited 28 countries. During the week we became so close to our host Rosio, her family, and the kids at the Albergue, we felt like we were leaving our family, so it was hard to say goodbye. If you're looking to immerse yourself in the culture, to learn about the people and the history of the land, this program gives you a chance to do that. Your volunteer week will star...
Care for Cuzco
by: Laney Lyons - United StatesProgram: Volunteer with Global Aware - Care for CuzcoCaring for Cuzco was a great volunteer and travel experience. We were able to stay in the children's home we worked in which was a great opportunity to spend time with the children. We rebuild the outdoor kitchen and also did medical and dental clinics. We were able to truly see the difference we made for the children and mountain communities we traveled to do clinics in. I highly recommend it. It's a totally different lifestyle - I felt completely safe with wonderful hospitality.
