Computer Training Volunteering in Peru

support from the online coordinator was great, always replied to emails soon and with helpful answers; and the local team was so friendly and kind and really made it feel like home! this was my first time volunteering so i was fairly unsure of what to expect but i enjoyed it so much and would definitely go through IVHQ again! i initially joined to do childcare, my first week i helped out at a kid’s camp but due to that camp ending the local team were really helpful and quickly found me another placement to volunteer at to what would suit me. meeting new people in the homestay was great and you quickly become friends with them for the trip or to also keep in contact after. i loved being able to have free time to choose what to do and where to go and being able to visit amazing places and immerse myself in a new culture despite not speaking Spanish much or well!

My previous accommodation with Projects Abroad was canceled by my institution days before I was scheduled to leave. When given the option of doing a different project, this company was incredibly flexible and was able to ensure all my needs were met to have a successful project. I truly loved my time in Arusha, Tanzania, and believe that this experience happened for a reason. I would not change it for the world!
