This volunteer program takes you to teach children in the ‘pueblos jovenes’ (or ‘young towns’), located in the stunning southwestern region around Arequipa, Peru. Volunteers joining this program will be working with children from kindergarten through initial primary school levels and will be typically working with children from the ages of 4 and upwards. Volunteers placed with younger children will be helping them master all the classroom basics from holding a pencil and drawing drawing lines to their first letters and numbers.
How this program makes a difference:
As with our similar projects in Latin America, our aims are first and foremost in education, and pay particular focus on literacy and educational reinforcement for the children of each community. Global Vision International, with the full support of the leaders of the communities and the schools, aims to tackle these issues. As GVI’s volunteers actually do the teaching alongside the local teachers and on their own, we can group the children by age and grade, to pay closer attention to the children and the required subjects, and identify those children who require further help. Coupled with paying for the school supplies, it is hoped that more children will attend and will receive the attention needed for their standard of education to improve.
Highlights:
Qualifications:
